Reference to a class lecture
APA says these are not recoverable by another person, so they should be referenced as a personal communication. You can use the APA style (first below) or my clearer and more specific modified version (second below). In either case, there is only a reference in the paper, no reference is on the reference page (an exception to the general rule that these must match).
