APA 7
For our Assessment for this unit, we will be using APA 7 for referencing sources of information.
Watch the following video APA referencing: the basics from Victoria University Library
More information can be found on the VU website:
We will go through some of the different information sources using the guides on this website. Once we have gone through the information, take the Quiz to see how much you learnt about APA 7 referencing.
One of the best ways to learn APA 7 is to view the samples and apply them to your own information sources.
MS Word
Microsoft Word also has the ability to reference and cite within a document. The current APA version is 6. While it isn't perfect, it does allow you to add the information as you go.
