How do I cite a course lecture?

MLA style  The MLA format asks that when you cite a formal lecture you give the speaker's name; the title of the lecture in quotation marks (if known); the sponsoring organization (if applicable); the location; and the date:


Lee, Spike. "Race and Film." Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH. 14 January, 1999.

From this, we can deduce that a course lecture might be cited as follows:


Saccio, Peter. English 57. Dartmouth College. 23 March 1996.

APA style  The APA format also asks that you give the lecturer's name; the date (in parentheses); the title of the lecture; and the location at which it was delivered. However, the format is a bit different:


Applebee, F. (1993, January). Reducing the federal deficit. Lecture delivered at Dartmouth College at the Rockefeller Symposium, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH.

To cite a course lecture, give the name of the lecturer, the name of the course, the location and the date:


Demko, G. (1997, March 4). Lecture presented in Geography 54. Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH.

or, in note format:

1 G. Demko, (1997, March 4), lecture presented in Geography 54, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH.
