TIPS
- Please follow APA (2020) formatting for all writing, citing, and referencing as indicated in syllabus,
assignment guidelines, and grading rubric.
-Avoid use of direct quotes. Paraphrase in own words. However, if a profound direct quote is used, cite
with author, year, and page number.
-A reference listed on reference page is needed for every citation.
-Information from professional literature and visual works shared on each slide need citation(s).
Paraphrase and cite any information shared from current professional literature (within the last three to
five years) with author(s) and year. Exception: Original theorists’ work and some graphics may not be
within last three to five years depending on date of creation.
-If each statement shared on a slide is from a different professional resource, then each statement
needs a citation.
-If all statements shared on a slide is from one professional resource, then the citation may occur at the
bottom of the slide.
Some examples for in-text citations:
• One example for when each paraphrased statement is from a different current professional
resource.
