Health 101 Signature Assignment

You will need to use APA style to properly cite your chosen sources within the text of your paper and on your References page. The college offers several resources designed to help you with this task, including:

          -APA Style Guide (templates, sample references, and in-text citation guidance)

          -Allied health APA Guide (similar to the general guide above, but targeted towards health resources)

          -APA Checklist (list of most common APA errors)

          -APA tutorial (hands-on demonstration of common APA issues)

Please remember that you must cite all sources when referencing them within your paper! Page 1 of the APA Style Guide describes how to do this for resources with and without a personal author. Be especially mindful of direct quotations, which require quotation marks around the cited passage and the page number you found the text (if available). As an example, see the direct quotation and corresponding APA reference entry below.
