Citations
Although individual instructors may have particular criteria for their assignments, all writing in Sociology classes should conform to disciplinary standards for citations and references.  Use the ASA Style Guide to include citations for the articles, books, and internet sources that have provided concepts, claims, or data that are relevant to the paper.   A Quick Style Guide for Students Writing Sociology Papers is available online at:
