Although I purchased my books way ahead of schedule including the APA manual for my use in formatting my writing assignments, I felt I could not get a clear understanding of how to format references. I read the book. I accessed information on the internet. I even consulted with persons who were going through doctorial programs and supposedly familiar with the styles. On each assignment, points were deducted from my score because I had errors in APA usage. I feel that I needed to have actual corrections listed that addressed the errors I kept making so that I could actually see the proper formats that should have been used. Prior to submitting my assignments I would consult with students that were also using the manual to conduct their research. It was always disappointing when I realized that I still did not clearly understand the necessary format to be used to complete my assignments.
