Most writing assignments will require the writer to borrow ideas from outside sources. To avoid issues of academic integrity, it is important for writers to understand the basics of citations and referencing. Although there are many different styles of citations and references, the most used style at Red River College Polytechnic is APA Style.
This module aims to help students understand what it means to use APA 7th Edition for their writing assignments. The module is divided into three major sections: Basic, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each section will teach you necessary APA skills for both formatting and referencing. As you move forward through the module, the skills become more detailed and technical. Not all courses and programs will require students to have the same level of APA knowledge. Therefore, take note of what is in each sub-module and determine if it is relevant to your students.
