The majority of your response should be your own original writing based on what you have learned from the textbook. Be sure to provide a citation and a reference for any materials used, including the required textbook. The following points are designed to help you understand how to provide proper citations and references for your work:

• Sources are listed in two places.
• The first, a citation, is briefly listed within your answer. This includes identifying information that directs the reader to your list of references at the end of your writing assignment.
• The second, a reference, is at the end of your work in the list of references section.
• All sources cited should follow APA style and provide enough identifying information so that the reader can access the original material.
