apa style dicussion
The following are links that supplement the documents and resources under the course information tab and in the week 1 announcement to help you with APA formatting:
CityU How Do I Use APA Style http://www.cityu.edu/library/howto/use-apa-citation-style.aspx
The Basics of APA Style (American Psychological Association) http://www.apastyle.org/learn/tutorials/basics-tutorial.aspx
As you have seen under the course information tab, in the syllabus, and in the rubric for all written assignments, it is noted that all written assignments should be written adhering to APA formatting guidelines. In addition, the postings in the discussion board should follow the same format as indicated in the instructions in the discussion board to a certain extent as well. I will be looking for the use of APA style with proper formatting of citations and references when paraphrasing or quoting directly in all posts except for peer responses.
Class, after reviewing the documents and resources located under the course information tab, in the week 1 announcement, and at apastyle.org, please provide a brief explanation as to why you think APA style is important as well as any questions that you might have regarding formatting and the use of APA style in scholarly writing.
