Writing properly in college is fundamental to your future success. I want you to use this course to practice writing in APA formatting. This will benefit you in this course and any future criminal justice courses you take in your academic career. In this module, I have assigned an article to read. Once you’re finished, you will have the opportunity to practice your APA skills by properly citing the article as a reference section, and as in-text citations. I will allow you to submit this assignment as many times as it takes for you to get full credit. There is no reason why you shouldn’t be experts in APA by the end of this course!
