APA formatting templates

Hello,

A number of you have been experiencing trouble learning how to use the templates in order to get your papers in proper APA formatting.

Formatting papers is far more than a cosmetic issue, it can mean the difference of me being able to read your paper in a few minutes or- an hour! to get thru your paper. It can mean the difference of you keeping your content on track and not going what we call going too far down 'the rabbit hole.'

Putting your paper in APA format need only take a few minutes once you are familiar with using them.

Attached you will find a template and also an example of a finished paper from a nutrition class that uses the same formatting. I will not ask you to know anymore about APA formatting other than what is on the template for the basic paper and just the two basic recipes for references at this stage of your college journey.

You are not alone, believe me and this is exactly why it is taking me so long to get your papers back to you. I have put this thread together here in the main so that perhaps everyone can commiserate and help each other out. If you have a tip for your class mates, do post it! That same person or someone else may help you out down the road.

In Environmental Studies and Paleo-ecology, we find species survive longer when they help each other out rather than compete. This is known as Commensalism. -Or sometimes as Environmentalists get jeered by the cable networks for being Socialists Communists- but do not add Fascism to that because it means the opposite of Communism :) lol

Many of you are hanging in there and your formatting is looking more and more beautiful and professional with each time you resubmit. You will get this down and a year from now you will say - I can't believe I couldn't do that then!

So be sure to respond to this post with either a tip or a question, or maybe just an emotion as to how rough it can be to make more room in your professional career for APA formatting.
