Clarification - Response to Interview Question
I wanted to clarify a couple of items regarding the upcoming assignment.
While it is not typically acceptable in academic writing to use first-person references, for this assignment you absolutely should respond in first-person. This is a reflection paper focusing on your own personal experience, and you need to include your own perspective.
You do NOT need to include references for this assignment. I do expect the assignment to be otherwise formatted according to APA specifications (double space, etc.).
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
Read Chapters 1 and 2.
