How do I cite class slides or a PowerPoint in MLA?
Answer
To cite class slides in MLA style, include the following information:
- The author of the presentation
- The title of the presentation
- The course name
- The container (Moodle)
- Name of the university
- Publication date
- Location (link to Moodle)
Formatting a citation for class slides in MLA style should follow the structure and examples below:
Format:
Author Last Name, Author First Name. "Title of Presentation." Course Name. Container, University, day month. Year, link to Moodle.
Example:
Smith, John. "English Week 1 Slides." Introduction to English Literature. Moodle, Concordia University of Edmonton, 7 Sep. 2024, https://courses.concordia.ab.ca/.
When citing class slides in the body of your text, include the author's last name and the number of the slide you are citing.
Example:
(Smith 11).
