Also, you need to punctuate your citations AFTER the parentheses (citation). What does he mean. Does he mean in my actual references or in my essay? I will attach them when you respond : )

these are my references which look fine to me, so i think hes talking about my citations but i dont know what he wants me to do with them? I thought I did them correctly. You dont have to read my essay could you just peek at the citations and see if their right?

Deming D.J., G. C. (Winter 2012). for example get rid of the period after the C ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is correct with the punctuation. If you are using APA, the citation is right as long as it isn't a printed source. If it is from a printed source, you need the page number also. I know more about MLA, so defer to others if someone tells you differently.
