How do you cite a website within the text if the website does not have an

author, cite in text the first few words of the reference list entry
(usually the title) and the year. Use double quotation marks around the

instead of having adults come in, i have students do homework assignments
where they interview adults (their roommates or other young, middle, and
older adults) and compare answers. we can get at cognitive, moral, social,

Rod & Others,
I've tried to stay out of this one but I finally feel compelled to respond.
I think you may be confusing an atmosphere of open academic enquiry (where
students are challenged to explore ALL of their beliefs) with selective
derision of a particular world view. I encourage my student
