Quotation Marks and Punctuation

from http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/577/01/

"...the period or comma punctuation always comes before the final quotation mark. It is important to realize also that when you are using MLA or some other form of documentation, this punctuation rule may change."

This would explain why a professor constantly corrected my placement of punctuation before the end quotes...she goes by MLA,and I'm used to going by APA or similar.
