How do I cite lecture notes in APA?

If you use lecture or course notes as a source of information, you will need to refer to them in your in-text citations just as you would any other source. 

• Author: Materials without a specified individual author should use Walden University as the author.

• Year: If no other date is listed on the materials, use the year you began the course (which is the last time the course was published).

• Example: Walden University. (2020). Health effects of exposure to forest fires [Lecture notes]. Walden University Blackboard. https://class.waldenu.edu

Additional Resources:

• See this page for more information on creating a reference entry for your course materials.
