Your essay requires two (2) references. One of the references is the publication file attached to this document. Obtain, read, and cite a second reference by going to the online HCCC Library resources. When writing your paper, follow the American Psychological Association, 6th ed. (APA, 2010) publication style for citing sources in the text as well as for the references list.
The HCCC librarians (http://www.hccclibrary.net/services/) are available to help you locate relevant research articles. You can email them, call them, visit them.
Find their contact info by clicking the
HCCC Library option on the course menu.
You can get what you need from these HCCC guides:

While the format is an important aspect of any academic paper, it is only one aspect of a well-written paper. Utilize the available technologies – spell and grammar check – and be sure to proofread your work before submitting it for a grade; all papers must be typed in a 12 point font (e.g. Times Roman) with one-inch margins all around. All assignments must be submitted as an MS Word document. Your grade depends on both quality of your thoughts and your use of APA formatting.
