This handbook is ideal for preparing APA styled undergraduate essays. It was specifically designed with the average student's needs in mind. The book is intended to cover the vast majority of situations that the normal student will encounter while writing a college essay. Organized for speed and brevity, the book is primarily a concentrated, up-to-date guide on APA format and documentation requirements (both In-Text and References) with a heavy emphasis on examples and visual aids (120 to be exact). Additionally the book contains pointers on how to get started, what to document, what notes to take (by source type), and how to handle quotes of varying length.
The book coincides with most recent APA standards: Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (20 9, 6th Edition) and APA Style Guide to Electronic References (2012, 6th Edition).
