Syd is a first-year student. To fulfill her general education requirements, she enrolled in a geography class. Her mid-term assignment is to write a 5-page paper on earthquakes. The professor told the class that they could use outside resources but that they must cite all the information they use in their paper using APA citation style. If students didn’t know how to use APA citation style, they were encouraged to seek out help in the Writing Center. Syd is unsure of how to use APA citations and intends to write the paper like she did in high school where she always got good grades.
