To maximize your ability to earn full points on this assignment, it is important you explain each response thoroughly
by including details, all available information, examples, and any other mechanism that supports your reply. It is
also necessary to include (in parenthesis embedded in your text will do) your reference, in APA Format.
You must also include the List of References, APA Format as a page.

What is APA Format?

APA is the style of documentation of sources used by the American Psychological Association. This form of writing
papers is used mainly in the social sciences, like psychology, anthropology, sociology, as well as education and
other fields.

How Does APA Style Work?
When working with APA there are two things to keep in mind: in-text citations and the reference page. In-text
citations will use the author’s name and the date within your research paper. These citations will refer back to the
reference page at the end, which lists all the sources that you may have used in your research paper.

When Would I Have to Cite a Source in APA?
Anytime you summarize, paraphrase, or quote information from another source, like passages from books
or articles in an academic journal, you are required to list within your text the author’s name and the year
the article was published.

You must cite resources within the document, and provide the list of resources you used to respond to the
questions.
