Citing Course Material

To demonstrate to your instructor that you are using course notes, that you pay attention in class, and that you appreciate and are able to apply course contents, you may decide to cite course material, including lecture, class presentation, and class discussion.

The following indicate the MLA citation style of course material for the "Works Cited" page. Parenthetical citations include only the first word of the citation, unless two sources begin with the same word. If you are using another style, adapt the citations appropriately.

Lecture:

Professor's Name. Class Lecture. Dept & Course Number: Name of Course. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Date [ex. Fall 2001].

Class Presentation:

Name of Presenter(s). Class Presentation: "Title of Presentation." Dept & Course Number: Name of Course. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Date [ex. Fall 2001].

Class Discussion in which you can't remember exactly who said what:

Class Discussion. Dept & Course Number: Name of Course. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Date [ex. Fall 2001].
