I would always get lower scores on my papers because of my failing APA skills. The first two sessions of this module have been a complete eye-opener!

So far, it is a little bit basic, but not too bad. I appreciate the guidance on using the Reference Guidance and the Reference Examples.

This course provided what I wanted - an overview of APA style guidelines. The customization of the manual will help me to work at a reasonable pace as I gain familiarity with APA style.

It has provided me easy ways to divide and conquer this book. Also, it showed me where to find particular reference examples that I will need to properly sight my paper.

I really enjoyed this course, it fits my learning style very well. I sped the speech up just a little and I didn't care for the length of time between sections, I clicked the continue button often. Otherwise, great job!

Content is very good, well organized and exactly what I was hoping to learn by taking this course. There are two aspects that I don't care for: 1. The silly nature of the delivery of the information. Fighting the APA monster? 2. There is a disclaimer to check the APA Publication Manual at the end of EVERY video. Is this necessary?

This is a excellent course if you are using APA. Lectures are easy to follow and explanations are very simple.

I took this course because I am about to start an article that I hope to submit to a peer reviewed journal. The information provided was comprehensive and informative. The class is a refresher of some basic APA rules for those of us familiar with APA. However, I learned how to use MS Word functions to alphabetize my references. In the past I had always alphabetize the reference manually. Learning how to do this was worth the cost of the course. In the past I often struggled with properly formatting the hanging indents on my reference pages, this course showed me how to use MS Word to easily format the references. Thank you so much. You have saved me hours of aggravation! The course has excellent production quality and is delivered in an interesting and engaging manner. I highly recommend it.

Although I have had prior training in APA this course provided me with additional knowledge which will be useful to me as a writing instructor and as a doctoral student.

I have dealt with APA for a while and have always found it confusing. I have been taught APA twice by two different professors and I struggled both times! This class definitely was a helpful refresher and I think I learned more in watching these videos then I did in one class... Definitely a class you should sign up to take if you want to SUCCEED with APA!! :)
