Thanks. When preparing written work for a course, it's usually a good idea to check the assignment instructions - or check with the instructor - about expectations for reference and citation format. Different instructors, different courses, different disciplines all can have very different, particular expectations and requirements for citing and documenting your research sources. (All my courses, for example, require MLA citation style.)

Hello,
Nice writeup. I find references to be a personal issue. Personal with respect in how we reference them and personal with respect in how they are received by the critics. My references seem to have been accepted in my assignemts for this course. In another course, I submitted an assignment where all of my references were not accepted. Go figure.Anyways, thanks for the writep.
Sincerely,
Mihal

Thank you for noting the broken link to the Youtube-hosted recording of A Doll's House. I have replaced it with two alternative recordings (also hosted by Youtube).
