APA STYLE
In this part of the website, you will find information that will hopefully help you with writing your papers in APA style. The final authority in what is correct or incorrect is the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.). Please be aware that if you are using a first printing edition of the manual that a number of mistakes have been corrected. You can go to www.apa.org to get a list of the corrections and to obtain a replacement copy with the corrections. You must request your free replacement by 12/15/2009. As it states in your syllabus you are responsible to become familiar with the manual. The following files will hopefully help you from basic format to how to reference properly.
