Here is a link at Park University, which can help: https://www.park.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/APASample.pdfLinks to an external site. Your DeVito textbook and the scholarly interpersonal communication research articles you read in this course use APA style. Please notice how sources are cited in parentheses in your textbook’s information, then notice what the reference listings look like at the back of your textbook.
In APA style, everything in the report needs to be double spaced, have 1” margins, and use black, Arial or Times New Roman, size 12 font. The Report needs to be saved as one, canvas compatible file, and must be submitted to the submission link in Unit 7. Faculty are advised not to accept late Reports.
3. IC REPORT STYLE
Write in narrative or essay format, but the report should have elements of a research report too. In other words, you mix personal perceptions with the research-based information you learned in this course. Other than the research question guiding your report, you should not use questions in your report: Do not write in question/answer format. Instead, organize your report around three key ideas you have learned this term. Here is a link that may be helpful:

The report should also include a formal Title Page and a page entitled References, which documents all sources used in the report. As mentioned elsewhere, you can find high quality references in the field of interpersonal communication studies in your textbook, in the Supplemental Research Readings, and through your own investigation in Communication Source: http://park.edu/library/Links to an external site.
Just to summarize, in APA style, every source cited in the report needs to have a full reference listing. Every source listed in the reference page needs to be cited in the body of the report.
