Where does the apostrophe go for a plural possessive?

After the s that is already there. One student's results, several students' results. Form the plural first, then add the apostrophe. For irregular plurals that do not end in s, such as children, add apostrophe s: children's.

This comes up on Apostrophe Rules Explained, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
