Need assistance. I have a english for academic essay to write mla 9th . The topic for me. What is the qualities of a socially responsible individual and i have to do this analysis by division. My question is ,I have to do a cover page with the university name,title name,my name ,course name , number, due date . Could this have a page number with the last names before the page number? Also my next page for me to write the points for the analysis by divisions and then the other page would be starting my essay. The other page would be work citations, then bibliography . Where do page numbers start?

Sir, i owe you part of my grade and my current mental and emotional stability. Im a good writer, but when it comes to formatting I have no idea how to do it, be it MLA or APA i can just never remember how to do it correctly. I was having a big panic attack trying to find the right way to cite my sources, and your video is so concisely explained with the right amount of humor, seriousness, and empathy I needed to set my feet back on the ground. thank you so much for explaining all of this. the visual aid is also amazing. i wish you happiness and health forever

My friend is so stressed out because she has a professor that refuses to give her a direct answer on how to properly in-text cite a author and a organization both together in (1) parenthesis. Or the correct way if that is not the proper way it should be done. Can you please give an fair example on how to do this properly with one author w/ a organization and another demonstrating the proper way to in-text cite multiple authors w/ a organization. Because we cant find the answers on how to in-text cite a author along with a organization without them trying to switch or swap one for the other .
