Citing+References

APA (American Psychological Association) style is one of the most commonly used formats for citing references in academic writing. It is likely that you will be asked to use this format in college or university, regardless of the program you are in (it's not just for psych. courses!). You are asked to use APA style in your writing for this course. Below are a few different websites and fact-sheets for you to use (they all say the same information, so use the one that is easiest for you to read).

Remember, not referencing information in writing is considered plagiarism; it could result in a zero grade for an assignment and in University/college, it can result in the student failing the entire course or even being kicked out of the school...so let's get comfortable using proper citations this year!
