How do I reference Kolb’s reflective cycle/model (1984)? (APA)

Answer

Kolb’s reflective cycle was originally published in a book titled Experiential learning: experience as the source of learning and development (1984). 

The first and second edition of this book are held in Lanchester Library; CUG libraries do not hold copies of this title. 

It is best practice to find the cycle/model in the book, and reference as below. Where this is not possible, you may provide a secondary citation using a book or web resource you can access.

 

In-text citation  

(Kolb, 1984) OR Kolb (1984) 

(Kolb, 2015) OR Kolb (2015) 

Add the page number if relevant.
