  10. APA – In text citations • Citing sources within your paper: • At the end of a sentence where you used an idea from another person or you quoted another person you put (Author, date published). • (McCauley, 2006)

  11. APA – In text citations • Example: • We now know that the hyperactive boy has a neurological disorder called attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD) (Hallowell & Ratey, 1994; Latham, 2000). Experts recently have agreed that the daydreaming girl also has ADHD - sometimes called ADD because it occurs without hyperactivity (Hallowell & Ratey, 1994). But what happens when the child with AD(H)D grows up? How can tutors work with college students who have AD(H)D?
