Offline Option for Library Workshops: Offline 3: Cite Sources with APA

Read or view the materials listed below and then take the quiz (link located further down the page). There is an optional section on the quiz to alert a mentor or instructor, that you name, that you satisfactorily completed the quiz (you won't be able to answer the quiz questions without doing the readings/tutorials).

Questions to consider as you work through the materials below:

• What are some practical reasons professors ask me to cite my sources?
• When do I need to include citations in my paper?
• What's the difference between an in-text citation and an end-of-text citation on the References Page?
• What are narrative in-text citations and how can I use them?
• How are References Page citations ordered and formatted?
• What is a paraphrase and what is the advantage of doing that as opposed to a direct citation?

If you can't attend any scheduled live Library Workshop, you can instead work through the readings and tutorials above, and take this quiz:

• Quiz for Library Workshop: Cite Sources with APA (after successful completion, your results will be sent to instructor you identify in the form, if you choose to use that option)
• [Note that without carefully reviewing the readings and video tutorials you will probably not be able to answer many of the questions]
