Class Overview
Made With You in Mind
This course was made with your college-bound teen in mind. We draw directly from the current edition of The MLA Handbook. (No purchase needed for this class.)
The Modern Language Association (MLA) sets the gold standard for scholarly writing worldwide. It’s the "how-to" for citations, headers, and bibliographies.
Your teen will work independently to incorporate MLA guidelines to:
- Locate appropriate sources
- Evaluate research
- Write and outline source notes
- Insert parenthetical citations
- Format variations dependent on source type
- Develop a Works Cited (bibliography)
How does a self-paced, teacher-free course work?
Upon purchase, you receive access to the course modules in our private classroom for multiple semesters. While the course is designed to last six weeks, your student can jump in when they are ready, be it next week or in two months, and work through the course at their own pace.
While our teachers are phenomenal, the class readings and assignments do the teaching in this course. The self-motivated student can move through the material at a pace that feels right for them. (This offers a wonderful opportunity for your teen to develop their executive functioning skills, too!)
That said, hiring a reader can help!
We know some parents feel ill-equipped to offer feedback on high school academic writing. We've got your back!
Once the MLA Essay is written, your student can solicit detailed feedback from one of our expert writing coaches for a small fee. We offer that extra set of eyes to help your writer grow!.
