APA Title & Reference Page
This assignment is designed to help you review APA writing guidelines and to begin finding references for the Critical Thinking Paper that is due in Topic 3. This week you are going to start preparing for the paper you have due in Topic 3.
In Topic 3 you will be given 2 topics to choose from: Right to Die or Video Games and Violent Behavior. Two articles for each topic will be given that support each side of the controversy and you are expected to use both articles. Using the Course Materials resources find similar, empirical articles to support your rationale for the Topic 3 paper.
Use the resources found to construct an APA title page and reference section that conform to guidelines found in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Reference sections should include at least two articles, one e-book, and one electronic source.
