Praise from our users:
F. F. of Madison High School writes:
"I don't believe we could do Senior Projects without your manual. If you
have noticed, we keep ordering more each time. All our seniors check one out
at the beginning of their project and keep them until they finish. The
junior English classes use them when they do research as well as the history
and science departments. I also keep one on my desk to refer to as students
ask questions about citing information. Thanks for the recent update and
thanks for writing this manual."
C. S. of Greenbrier High School writes: "The manuals
are especially handy when taking a class to the writing lab to work on
research papers. Our curriculum requires research papers of increasing
degrees of difficulty using MLA style in grades 10-12. The updated
information on documenting electronic resources is especially helpful. . . .
Of course, the biggest benefit of the manual is its simplicity, so I don't
think it should be cluttered up too much!!!! My daughter is a senior at
George Washington University, and she took my first edition with her to
college and continues to use it. It is a great product. Thanks!"
J. S. of South Johnston High School writes: "I am
grateful to you both for supplying English teachers and students with a
quality tool for use in the high school classroom as well as the world
beyond."
