You Will Cite Sources Using APA , not MLA.

During the semester you will cite sources using APA techniques. I used examples of in-text and Works Cited citations in the previous two posts. I will continue for another week and then return to the traditional link format. 

When you quote or paraphrase an author, the citation immediately follows the quote or the paraphrase -- with no punctuation. "For example, this is an in-text citation for a quotation" (Author's Family Name, Year). For example, this is an in-text citation for a paraphrase (Author's Family Name, Year). At the end of your email, letter, presentation, or report, you will list the source on a separate Works Cited page. It appears as follows.

Family Name, First Name (Month Day, Year). Title with only the first word capitalized.
Name of  publication in italics. Retrieved from URL
