• In any argument, you need to know what the opposition thinks, so that you can be prepared to counter their points.

The Little, Brown Compact Handbook
• Just because the database says the citation it provides is in MLA format does not mean it is correct.
• Check everything against what is in The Little, Brown Compact Handbook (LBH).
• If it doesn’t agree with what is in the LBH, it will be counted off on your grade.
