I have recently gone back to school to earn my masters, and this video has saved my sanity!! I thought I should leave my thanks because of how much I reference your video! Thank you so much for being an amazing teacher to students everywhere! :)

Dr. Taylor, you are really AMAZING. Thank you for teaching this APA 7 style. I was so concerned that I had all the format rules required under control. I feel you have the perfect didactics to teach SIMPLY rather than me having to go to read tons of articles and still not having it clear. You have helped me so much. Very much appreciated. I wish you could be my Teacher in Uni. I’d feel less anxious when writing a paper. Kudos a million times!

Dr. Taylor. Thank you so much for your effort to film your videos for young academians. I have not only learned a lot about academic writing but also your attitude trying to give a great influence to people by sharing your intellectual knowledge. As a non-native English speaker who tries to establish an academic English writing skill, I am so happy to know your channel.
