What is the thesis of Walker's essay "Everything Changes, or Why MLA Isn’t (Always) Right"? *

The only thing that doesn’t change is the fact that everything changes.

Often citing sources for an academic project is a bit like trying to hit a moving target: the rules seem to keep changing.

In this article, I explore citation as a rhetorical practice, one which does not always fit precisely within the boundaries of traditional style guides but that nonetheless follows a logic that does make sense and that can be learned.

Strict attribution of sources has not always been necessary, and indeed in many cultures and contexts, it is still not (necessarily) required.

Walker says that MLA "has decreed that we have to include the medium of publication, even for books and journal articles". Is this still true? *

Why are academic writers held to the highest standards of reliability for sources of information? *

Use a quote from Walker's article and from your handbook.

According to the _Little Seagull Handbook_, which of the following are properly structured sentences? *

Select all that apply.

The first two batters walked. Manny Ramirez again.

The pitcher's arm weakened, the fielders made a number of errors.

Although the Cub's loaded the bases, the fans started to lose interest.

The manager changed pitchers Kluber was his best choice.

The catcher batted fifth. He fouled out, ending the inning.
