On a separate sheet (does not count to the 4 pages) provide a properly APA formatted reference page. Academic accepted sources can be found using the school online library, or on campus library. Cutting and pasting a web site is not a citation and putting in hyperlink in the text is not proper APA format. You must use inline APA citation and a proper APA reference page.
