Cite & Dissect

Learners are presented with broken or incomplete AI citations and must identify errors, correct them, and explain their reasoning. Students rewrite citations in both APA and MLA formats, demonstrating their ability to diagnose incorrect structure, missing elements, or improper labeling of personal communication. The activity reinforces mastery through applied correction rather than rote memorization.
