References:  If you decide to use direct quotes (I suggest you NOT do this often if at all!), you should see APA for the pages about quotes in order to avoid plagiarism.  Your references should be mostly primary sources but may include some secondary sources as appropriate.  These citations should follow precise APA and for students not following APA throughout the paper and on the reference as much as 10 points may be subtracted from the final paper.
