Many of your instructors will expect you to write your papers using APA format; a commonly-used standard in the academic world. We recognize that this may be difficult for you, so to help you meet this requirement, we’re sharing the following three short videos that students have found helpful in past semesters.

·     What is APA Style? (4 minutes)

·     APA Style Explained (8 minutes)

·     APA Format in Word (4 minutes)

The first and second videos explain the APA standard, whereas the third will help you set up your Microsoft Word to automatically follow the APA standard. In addition, click here for the APA Formatting and Style Guide and here for an APA 7th Edition sample paper.

For your English classes, you will be required to use MLA formatting. Full instructions on citation in MLA can be found here.
