References: You should justify your statements using support from the course readings. The use of concepts from those readings will strengthen your work and enable you to delve more deeply into the topics covered. The practical focus of many of the readings will provide you with guidance on how to expand and structure your paper. When citing resources used for your assignments (in-text and on your Reference page), please use the American Psychological Association (APA) 6th ed. format. A working copy of this format is available at: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ At the end of your paper create a Reference page (not a Bibliography page; a reference page and a bibliography page mean different things…find out what they mean).
