1. All participating and non-participating student names.

2. Each question must be repeated in full. Then followed by the narrative answer including complete and proper APA Style citations. Finally, the complete and proper APA Style references for the citations used in the answer should appear.

3. More than two “External Authoritative Sources” in addition to the text book are required for maximum points on EACH question/answer.

4. A source cannot be referenced unless it was cited in the narrative answer.

5. The text book must be cited just like any other source. It is not permissible to write “In the text book…” or In the case study…”

6. Any direct quote in the narrative must include the page or paragraph number in the citation.

7. It is improper to place a citation/source at the end of a paragraph if material from the source appears before the last sentence in the paragraph.

8. It is improper to place a citation in the middle of a sentence. One can lead with the source in the sentence but cannot use a citation within parenthesis except at the end of the sentence.
