**** The assignment must be accompanied by scholarly references in AIU APA Style Guide format. A good rule of thumb for the average work is three references, which can include the course text.
Consider the source before you include information from web sites. Who sponsors the web site? Is the information on the site supported by theory and research? WIKIPEDIA, Yahoo Answers, or similar websites may NEVER be used or cited under any circumstances, on any assignment, discussion, or response for this class. The reason is the lack of peer review thus the lack of information validity for such sites. You may decide to use such sites as a starting point, but you need to validate the information with scholarly sources
