Academic Writing

Citing references properly and accurately is a key component to successful academic writing. ICMS requires that all students use the American Psychological Association referencing system (APA) for citations in academic writing. More detailed information about APA is available at http://www.apa.org/ or in the 2012 ICMS Style Guide. The following worksheets can help you define your topic, generate ideas and think about your target audience.
