All discussions and assignments required the use of APA to cite and list references. APA stands for the American Psychological Association and the the guidelines that they develop for formatting and citing sources in research papers are required in many college level classes that deal with areas of Business, Criminal Justice and Education. Here you will find some practical information about what APA style and format are and how to use them. http://berkeleycollege.libguides.com/APA
