地道美语听力播客:Preparing a Paper

Student: I wonder if I could ask you some questions about our paper, professor. Do you want us to cite our sources in the footnotes?

Professor: You should use endnotes for longer explanations. Otherwise, just follow the style sheet I passed out for citations¹ in your paper.

Student: I see. And what about the cover page? Is there a special format² for that as well?

Professor: Do you have the handout³ I passed out with you? If you look at the bottom of that, you'll see that that you should follow the format of the American Psychological Association, 5th edition.

Student: Okay, I guess I missed that.
