For quite some time now I have been writing papers and have apparently been citing my sources correctly (according to MLA format) and have not receieved points off for it.
But this whole week I have been nicked at least a whole letter grade for one simple problem with my citations.
My professor (not an English professor) has nicked points off on my papers for not underlining any book titles when they're being discussed in a paragraph.
Instead of underlining book titles I've been italicizing them, which is what I thought was most correct. (At least, that's what my English teacher last semester said)
Does anybody know the answer to this question so I can challenge my professor's views?
I would challenge him myself, but the only source I have that gives MLA format is my book which is 3 years old and no doubt with MLA things have probably changed.
