How do I cite the notes I took in class in APA Style?

Answer

Your professor may not require a citation your notes, but check in with them to be sure.

 

If that's not possible, APA recommends citing class notes as a personal communication.

 

This would be an in-text citation only and would not appear in the reference list.  The in-text citation for them would look like this:

 

(Your first initial Your Last Name, personal communication, date of notes)

 

(J. Smith, personal communication, September 10, 2020)


If you need further help, contact a librarian.
