Reference your text

Many of you are just getting used to referencing your text. Know that for each course you take at AXIA/ Phoenix, the APA version of your hard cover text is always on page 3 of the Syllabus: See?

Berg & Hager (2007). Visualizing Environmental Science. Hoboken, N.J. John Wiley & Sons.

Notice the basic recipe. Author (year). Title. City/ State of publishing. Publisher.


For my classes, just using this reference will be fine. And rather than re typing this all the time, I just keep it in a word document that I keep a shortcut to on my desktop.

Have you noticed how having to include a citation and a reference requires you to read your assigned reading? Formatting is not just cosmetic, it requires you to research and include academic level input from individuals who have actually worked and published in the industry as recognized 'industry experts.'
