To all my Engl 2 (Writing in the Discipline) students. I will not meet you on Friday (January 16). I will give you time to go to the library and check for the reference sources of your chosen topic. In addition, kindly download the document presented below. That will be your basis in coming up with your preliminary bibliographies. Your preliminary bibliographies should be written on index cards (please use the smallest size). Each bibliography should be written on a single card only. Do not write more than one on an index card. We will use the APA citation style. Further, please prepare for an exam on Monday (January 19) at CAS - AVR. If you have some queries, feel free to approach me anytime of the day through text. Thank you and happy book hunting.

Which should you use?
