Welcome to our crash course on APA 7 Referencing because, yes, citing sources doesn’t have to feel like decoding a secret language!

Whether you're writing a research paper, thesis, or just a humble reaction paper, this video will guide you through the why, the how, and the what-not-to-do of APA citation.

🔍 In this video, you’ll learn:
✅ Why we need to cite in academic writing
✅ What a reference list is (and how it’s different from in-text citations)
✅ How to format APA 7 citations correctly
✅ Common referencing problems students often make
✅ Practical tips and funny examples to help you remember the rules!

💡 Why do we cite?
Because citing gives credit to the original thinkers, prevents plagiarism, and shows your reader that your ideas are built on solid ground. It’s an academic thank you card to the scholars who came before you!

📄 What’s a Reference List?
It’s the full list of all the sources you cited in your work. It appears at the end of your paper and follows strict formatting rules in APA 7 style.

🚨 Common Problems We’ll Fix:
❌ Wrong use of “et al.”
❌ Copy-pasting ResearchGate links
❌ Citing the same author twice with the same year—but not using (a), (b)
❌ Using APA 6 instead of APA 7
❌ Listing sources you didn’t actually cite (yikes!)

So, grab your notes, save this video, and never fear APA again! 🧠✍️
