First, check your course syllabus and lessons (both are linked on the left side of your online classroom). Your instructor may have provided citations for your required readings in one or both of those places. 

If you need to create a citation from scratch, use your style guide to help you.

  • Website or web page: use the WEBSITES & BLOGS examples
  • Video: use the VIDEO RECORDINGS & PODCASTS examples

Types of citation examples
