Unrecorded classroom lectures are considered personal communications (works that can not be recovered by readers). APA instructs to "use a personal citation only when a recoverable source is not available. For example, if you learned about a topic via a classroom lecture, it would be preferable to cite the research on which the instructor based the lecture. However, if the lecture contained original content not published elsewhere, cite the lecture as a persona communication." ( Publication manual of the American Psychological Association , 7th ed., 2020, p. 260)
Personal communications are cited in the text only, not in the reference list.
