Recognizing common knowledge (MLA) (autoscored)

Read the student passage and determine if the student needs to cite the source of the information. If the material does not need citation because it is common knowledge, click on Common knowledge. If the material is not common knowledge and the student should cite the source, click on Needs citation.

Click Submit after each question to see feedback and to record your answer. After you have finished every question, your answers will be submitted to your instructor’s gradebook.
