APA Referencing Style: B. Lecture

This guide will help you cite sources in APA Citation Style 6th Edition.

Lecture

This format would be used if you were citing a set of notes from a lecture (e.g. power point slides provided by your instructor). 
 
If you want to cite something from a lecture that was not included in a set of lecture notes, you would use the format for a personal communication (see the format for an interview, for example).
