Starting in this course and throughout your work at PG, you will need to give credit to sources you use in your academic work. This includes your textbook and any other assigned readings, as well as webpages, articles, ebooks, and other content you find in your personal research for assignments. You should always give credit to sources, but the expectations to follow APA Style specifically will build slowly throughout the assignments in this course. Pay attention to the requirements in every assignment so you're not over - or under- doing it.
