It is important to discuss citation expectations with your students, and not assume they know how to cite. Instructors should provide information on how to credit academic sources, and refer students to resources for additional support (e.g. liaison librarian, citation style guides, citation management software, etc.).
Ensure all of your teaching materials properly acknowledge all sources (including course notes, charts, data, tables, figures, maps, PowerPoint presentations, etc.) so that you lead by example.
The Online Writing Lab at Purdue University has examples of formatting, in-text citations, footnotes/endnotes and Works Cited for different citation styles, including MLA, APA, and Chicago.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
