You'll notice I'm here every few months, just to make sure I'm still following directions.

[@santanavico7335]

I've watched this video plenty of times! I getchu 😂😅

[@maykout974]

Two Years Later, and here I am. Thank you!

[@priscillacarmenmariesantal9919]

Thank you for the demonstration! Love how the period is placed after all the nonsense typing

[@richardpicard4824]

You are awesome for that professor Morgan. You helped me out a lot for my college semester of English. Cheers!!

[@dextermosqueda6954]

I’ve never found a more joyful MLA Format Video, thank you!

[@mrningstart4344]

I'm here exactly after one year.
19 MAY 2020

[@e6ensperception]

Same here, I was like Hold up... may 19th? Did he make this video today? 😂

[@Itsjillsworld2001]

I used google drive all of high school. I was class of 2019. Now being at Rutgers they want us to use word. I know google drive like the back of my hand so this video is helpful with the fact that I have entered uncharted territory

[@Itsjillsworld2001]

Update: I have to watch this every time I attempt MLA in Microsoft word

[@Leah-bx4dq]

Haha same I have to watch a video on mla format every time I write an essay

[@nathannrojas]

this is my third time coming back to this video and once again you have helped me, thank you.

[@philippekeita]

Imma make sure to say your name at my graduation

[@tortoisemukbangs2134]

Thank you.Your video saved my life for my Essay assignment.

[@voltrontommy]

Thank you for the brief and informative video! It's much simpler than I thought.

[@dr.n.e.d.8081]

Thank you for your clear demonstration of this important formatting information. I will be adding this to a playlist for students. Your example may not be a research paper, but it would be very helpful to include a demonstration of a works-cited page as well. The "insert break" function as well as the hanging indent seem to have been ignored in high school classes.

[@mirnagongora6872]

Hi Jason your video has helped me over the last two years, you’re a life saver! But thanks for the MLA format!

[@xavieralexandre8507]

You're a lifesaver, thank you, Professor Morgan

[@Jakecaseyy]

This dude knows how to run a class and true professional!

[@themonster4963]

Bro, I wish you were my professor. Thank you!!

[@rbaskin]

Best MLA instruction video! Thank you so much!

[@ennyolayanju2808]

Thank you for this video Professor Morgan. It helped during my summer classes. You make learning
so easy.

[@arenh2049]

Recommend watching in 1.5x speed. Thanks for the video!

[@shontaefranklin5610]

Thank you, glad you did it in the version of word I am using.

[@Barbararivera-rq4jr]

i NEVER understood how to do this format! now it’s so easy😭

[@diegorafaelsfo]

Thank you! Currently learning about the MLA System.

[@scotthendrix841]

Thanks for the video! Best one I've found so far. Re: the date. My students felt would be helpful to explicitly state the entire month is needed in the date, and for example, use a longer month such as September or November. Seeing the month "May" in the example, many put "Sep" or "Sept" for the month.

[@nataliemarie2528]

Awesome, this helps a lot and thank you for walking through it.

[@candyg7448]

This has helped me so much. I’ve gone back to this video multiple times. It’s funny how you mention the header font changing. My header font is changed by the time I get to that part. Even if I set the the font to TNR to begin with. Thx for the video!

[@frosted2667]

"aight now go do it"

[@andysalgado4673]

Thank you i can now finally type papers the proper way instead of not doing APA or MLA formats

[@nicolerobinson6768]

[@orlandomacedo9744]

Thank you for the video, very easy to follow

[@rachieplus294]

Does the "Spacing After" need to be 8pt?

[@shannonstellabotte7813]

Thank you for making this video ! I just saved it to refer back to. For future papers 😀

[@Deenique16]

Just create a template on work it’s easier

[@jasonmorgan4416]

@@Deenique16 True. But as stated at the end of the video, one of the skills being taught here is how to follow directions.

Hey whenever I click tab the line goes way further than yours..Sorry I don't know computer language

[@Megzm6]

I'm using office 365 which looks like a paired down version of Word. I have no idea what I am doing . It would be so much easier if I was using the full version or T least I think its not . I have never written an mla paper before this is such a pain. I don't see headers on my paper at all

[@forzy149]

nice

[@joseeduardoperezsantos1104]

I have two last names, so do I write both of them?

[@jasonmorgan3341]

Yes. If you have two last names, hyphenated or not, use both of them in the header.

[@mikewilliams6568]

Now, couldn't a student just change the "after" spacing under "paragraph" to "0 point" and not have to worry about the checkbox, as long as the paper is changed to double spacing?

[@jasonmorgan3341]

Hello! As stated in the video, this is one way to do it. There are other ways as well. What you suggest will probably work.

[@InfectedChris]

Also, May 19th and I thought you were writing a paper about Kane.

[@Dezzy1293]

omg thank you so much
