FAQS

There is a lot of overlap when it comes to infographic vs. “quick reference guide.” While infographics use many visuals/images to grab attention, a quick reference guide focuses on well-organized text.

You can use any of the following software to create a quick reference guide and make it into PDF to submit to your course.

• Microsoft Word (FAQ on How to Create a table in Word, please click here)
• Canva
• Google Charts
• Piktochart
• Venngage

How do I cite my sources?

If you use outside sources of information in your Quick Reference Guide, be sure to cite them in APA style. APA does not provide guidelines for citing sources within Quick Reference Guide, so talk with your instructor about their preferences or expectations for citing sources. When in doubt, cite in-text, perhaps in smaller font, beside the information provided by the source. Also, provide a references section near the bottom of the Quick Reference Guide. Your reference entries should follow standard APA reference guidelines. Some instructors may prefer a separate References page, so be sure to ask.
