Hi all..

I was surfing to find some template that could help in MLA citation style. Fortunately I found one. I missed the link, so am pasting the contents as under. This might be of some help to others.

-----------------------------------

Student second name and page number to be right aligned in header

<Student Name>

<Name and Section # of course>

<Instructor Name>

<Date>

Insert Full Title of the Assignment

            From here you start off the assignment and each paragraph is indented by pressing a simple tab key when starting a new paragraph.

            Heading 1

            Guess what is the noticeable difference? You just noticed! Headings are also indented and underlined simultaneously. Do not have any formatting in the paper such as having any text bold or italics.

            There is no gap between the paragraphs. The most important part is the in text citations which uses Author, Page style where citations are listed by author(s) last name and page number range. If you’ve completely rephrased something you took from a source then you should cite like this (Haris, 21).

Subheading 1

Do not bold, italicize or underline the subheading.

Works Cited

Next page is the referencing page that is here known as works cited. Please note that references should be in alphabetical order with books coming first, followed by websites. Try placing as many books as you can. Notice that the references have hanging indents from the second line onwards and are not numbered.

A Book

Author’s last name, first name initial. Title of the book. Book Edition. City of Publishing: Publisher. (Date published).

A Magazine or Newspaper Article

Author’s last name, first name initial. “Article Title.” Magazine or newspaper name. (Date published): page numbers of article.

Hello everyone!

My friend and I are starting a proofreading

"business." To put it bluntly: we're poor students (maybe like you) who

would like to make a little extra money proofreading papers. We're both

English majors. One student has previously studied at King's College
London. The other is double majoring in Neuroscience at Tulane
University. We'll both read your paper/essay/thesis/college application
essay and get back to you straight away.

The first 1,000 words are six dollars, and each 250 words additional is a dollar a page. Papers can be combined for lower rates.

If you are interested our email is expertstudentreviews@gmail.com.

You can also reply here.

Thanks!

I'm trying to get back in touch with an old friend, named Corey or Cordelia Parham. She grew up in DeKalb and went to NIU in the 90s, her folks also taught at NIU. She was very active in PRISM. I've tried looking for her on Facebook and can't seem to find her. If anyone can get me back in touch with her or would forward my contact information to her, please PM me. Thanks!

Amazon is offering a free year of their Amazon Prime service (normally $79 a year) to any student with a .edu email address. Not only does this give you free 2-day shipping on all orders, but you can also get next day shipping for $3.99: http://www.amazon.com/gp/student/signup/info

If you're an avid Amazon shopper, this would be a great time to have free 2-day shipping due to their week long Black Friday Sale.

From NIU's alert website:

Missing NIU Student
10-16-10

The NIU Department of Public Safety is seeking information on the whereabouts of a female NIU student who was reported missing over the weekend.

Antinette J. Keller was last seen by friends around noon on Thursday, October 14, 2010. She reportedly told friends that she was going for a walk in a area adjacent to W. Lincoln Highway near the Junction Center retail complex not far from the NIU campus.

Ms. Keller is described as a white female, 18 years of age, 5 feet 6 inches in height, approximately 130 lbs., brown hair, and blue eyes.

She was last seen wearing blue jeans, a gray jacket, and a scarf. Ms. Keller was believed to be carrying an art portfolio, and a professional camera.

Anyone who may have seen or who may have information on a person fitting the above description is asked to please contact the NIU Department of Public Safety at 815-753-1212.

Amazon is offering a free 1 year subscription to Amazon Prime (Which usually costs $79 a year. Perks include free 2 day shipping, and $3.99 overnight shipping): http://amzn.to/bSH8jP (url shortened with bit.ly)

This is being marketed towards college students but all you need is a valid .edu email address, so teachers and alumni might be able to benefit from this too (though the Terms of Service does say they have the right to ask for proof that you are a current student).

I apologize if you have already heard about this amazing deal. I just want to help spread the word on this before they stop offering it. I am not an employee of Amazon, nor do I gain anything from people signing up for this service.

I know everyone is drooling over the new iHop, but remember, there are better breakfasts in DeKalb to be had!

Flippin Eggs is on 4th street, by Taylor, kind of across from the 7-11. The food is AMAZING and the staff is awesome (if I do say so myself).

This month, the specials are:
Fresh, homemade donuts, 5 for $2,95$, free for parties of six or more.
Spicy Chick Benny
Cottage Crepes
Fruity Pizza
Pita Pizza
and
Liver and Onions.

Try the veggie Benedict if none of these tickle your fancy! You'll love it!

Hi all,

I am an incoming graduate student as of this coming fall semester. In figuring out housing options, I'm wondering what is out there as far as apartments go. (I'm not too keen on doing dorm life again). What do people recommend as far as on campus and off? Any and all advice is welcome. Feel free to comment here or contact me via my userinfo page.
Thanks in advance!

Hello all,

Anyone know what time the convo lots open for tailgating on Saturday? 

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I need your opinion on something...

I currently live in Chicago, where I grew up. I absolutely love it here and don't want to leave, but I need to move westward to be closer to work; it takes me about an hour and a half to commute, to and from, every day. I'm a college admissions counselor at the community college in Aurora. I was living in Aurora, but then realized that town was reeeeeeeally depressing, so I moved back home!

I did my undergraduate at the U of I (Urbana-Champaign), and figured I would be used to life in rural America by now. However, I drove to DeKalb today since it's about 25 minutes from work (yes, I was working on a Sunday), and when I got there -- absolutely dead! Now it could have been a combination of a) crappy weather and b) it being a Sunday afternoon, but I drove around town and didn't see a whole lot apart from a few bars and creepy strip malls. Again, I've done the whole college town scene before, but I didn't seem to have much luck finding possible liberation from boredem in DeKalb.

What is there to do in DeKalb when not studying, other than go to seedy bars and down a couple pitchers of beer?

Also, is there a particular part of town where grad students live? (ie. NOT DORMS, if there are specific graduate residence halls)

I'll continue to work full time in Aurora/Sugar Grove... I'm debating whether I'm better off living there and then just driving out to NIU for class.

Anyhow, advice, 2 cents, insight, opinions, comments welcome! Grad students and alumni-- I'm looking at you, but I also dig feedback from Undergrads!
