Introduction to the Blog

This blog is for students of Dr. Robin Bates at University of Lynchburg, and contains advice for writing for her classes. Everything on here regarding format is based on the MLA style guide, but also has information tailored to specific assignments for Composition, Literature & Culture, and 300 and 400 level classes like The Golden Age and Shakespeare. This is not intended as a replacement for an MLA guide, so get your MLA off the shelf and use it along with this.

[Some of the posts were written prior to MLA updates and will not be updated, so check them against the newest MLA version].
