Use the APA format for citations and the bibliography (refer to documents in the paper folder on Blackboard for assistance/clarification on this style).

Paper Assignment Guidelines
Papers should be proofread, edited, and spell-checked before submission (grades will adjust accordingly if not adhered to).
Do not cut & paste, copy, or plagiarize any part of your paper. Check the syllabus for my plagiarism policy and the consequences associated with it.
