APA 6th Edition Citation Style: C. Lecture
About Citing Sources
For each type of source in this guide, both the general form and an example will be provided.
The following format will be used:
In-Text Citation (Paraphrase) - entry that appears in the body of your paper when you express the ideas of an author using your own words. For more tips on paraphrasing check out: The OWL at Purdue.
In-Text Citation (Quotation) - entry that appears in the body of your paper after a direct quote.
Reference - entry that appears at the end of your paper.
Information on citing and several of the examples were drawn from the APA Manual (6th ed.).
Numbers in parentheses refer to specific pages in the manual.
Lecture
This format is used to cite notes from a lecture (e.g. power point slides provided by your instructor).
To cite information from a lecture that was not included in lecture notes, use the format for a personal communication (see the format for an interview, for example).
