INTRODUCTION

Students are required to have a citation manual for my courses -- you may choose the manual of your choice.  The nature of my courses require citation usage in several assignments and you will be served in good stead to have a manual that you own to use as a ready reference tool.

SELECTED RECOMMENDED MANUALS (CHOOSE ONE): 

	Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.). (2001). Washington, DC: American Psychological Association.
	MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (6th ed.). (2003). New York: Modern Language Association of America.
	Turabian, Kate L. A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations (6th ed.) (1996). Chicago: University of Chicago Press.
