[nabs-l] essays and sources

Mon Aug 30 12:21:40 UTC 2010

I strongly recommend buying an APA manual 6th ed, and getting each new
edition as they come out. If you are in psychology for the long run,
it will definitely come in handy, and it is worth asking a reader or
someone exactly how the format will be as it would be cumbersome to
look at a website and know all of the italics, bolds, etc. I'm sure
websites that do the formatting can be great, but i guess i am too
anal to trust them. I also run things by my professor before i turn
papers in. Even though there is an established system, i find that
each one has their version of what they think is correct.
