[LM_NET] Target: SEC, REF APA in Psychology elective

[hillmoy <hillmoy@COX.NET>]

* I posted this Sunday 9/30, but accidently left my email off.  Sorry!  

I know there was some talk awhile ago about teaching different styles in the 
high school level, but I think my question is a tad bit different.

I am teaching an elective semester Psychology class (grades 10-12).  We will 
soon begin a research assignment.  Our high school teaches MLA citation 
format in the English classes and the other subjects use it as well.

Here are my questions:  Is it enough to mention there is an APA style 
citation used in Psychology and then review MLA and have them to use MLA for 
their assignment? or Should I teach the APA style since that is what is used 
in Psychology?

Personally, I think the first is best option, but I do not want to 
disservice the field of Psychology.  I am curious as to what others think. 
I will post a hit.

Thank you,
