Psy 101: APA Reference and Style Activity

The purpose of the APA activity for this Psy 101 class is to introduce you to some of the common rules for citing your sources and listing your references in essays, papers, and research articles. For those of you pursuing a major or minor in Psychology, this will prepare you for writing and citations formats that will be expected of you in your classes and career. Those in other majors will be introduced to a different writing/citation style than you may have encountered in your English classes (which often was MLA) or for scientific technical writing (which often is APS or ACS).

This activity is divided into five tasks.
Example source materials are attached for use in this activity.
