Do not include works in your references that are not cited.  You must use APA format for citations. This assignment  requires a cover sheet and an abstract, ask us if you have questions or need help. Failure to use APA citations is an automatic 10 points off your grade.  Word, Pages, and Google Docs can all auto-format your citations and create a works cited. There are also dozens of websites that can tell you exactly what to do.

You will be submitting your assignment through TurnItIn and the following rant is because every semester we have a student who thinks they can get away with it.  The end result is usually begging, tears, apologies, threats, and ultimately a failing grade – and that’s just from the instructor.  

Under no circumstances should you be using Wikipedia or similar web sites as a reference. This includes any website that allows for community editing of information (a wiki).  However, you may visit Wikipedia, etc. to find other primary sources for information.
