ED PS 2600, Strategies for College Success: Using APA Citation

Wikipedia says that APA Style is "a widely accepted style of documentation, particularly in the social sciences."  At the U of U, the social sciences include Anthropology, Economics, Family and Consumer Studies, Geography, Political Science, Psychology, and Sociology.  For this class (and your other classes that fall under those departments), that just means that your bibliographies will be formatted according to a particular style.
