RE: [tips] Help with APA referencing of online class notes

[Maxwell Gwynn]

>>> "Bourgeois, Dr. Martin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 6/5/2008 11:14 AM >>> I'm a bit confused about this discussion: I can't think of a situation in which class notes would be an appropriate reference for an APA research report. Can someone enlighten me?   _______   A situation may arise in which a student wants to cite unpublished research an instructor has discussed in a seminar or research course, or the student writing a critical thinking paper (integrating material across a number of student presentations) wishes to cite information or discussion presented by another student in her/his seminar presentation. These bits of info may be cited straight from an oral presentation or lecture, or from handouts provided by the presenter.   As I believe it's important for students to clearly distinguish their own original thoughts from those provided by someone else, I like to have students provide some sort of citation for others' works.   -Max   Maxwell Gwynn, PhD Psychology Department Wilfrid Laurier University 519-884-0710 ext 3854 [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
