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

[hillmoy <hillmoy@COX.NET>]

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 
inPsychology and then review MLA and have them to use 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,
