My bio teacher just threw this format at us not even trying to explain how to use it. I’m in high school and this is really helpful, thanks

[jaeveeeff]

I had never even heard of APA until starting the course I am currently taking. Thank you for sharing all this info as it was incredibly helpful!

My professor just told us to go to Perdue Owl and figure it out? I went to the website and was lost in the text. The words don't speak to me, nor guide me with visuals to compare as an example. He mentioned all students better have their references and citations correct and all papers will be checked for plagiarism. I been away from school in 32 years, so much has changed no more Brittanica Encyclopedia for research. 1st day of school was awkward with my pencil sharpener and pencils, everybody using laptops and tablets. I'm doing really good in school, turning in assignments with proper formats is difficult. Math is my Nemesis, a math equation for me is like Kryptonite for Superman. Thanks for the video, you are appreciated.

Thank you for this great video! I hate APA format since I’ve rarely ever used it. Wish everyone would just stick to the simple MLA.

Thank you thank you thank you. I’ve been having mental breakdowns over trying to figure this out over the past few days. Hopefully I get a good grade, too many tears went into this.

I've never heard of APA formatting until I started taking criminology, this video really saved me from getting bad grades on my papers.

This video was SO helpful… I’m so mad I’m just now discovering this channel. Im a college senior and APA still kicks my butt💀

[MarisaMejia-pnyx]

Just had to note this was a great quick overview. I've used APA 7th as well as other additions numerous times in my undergrad but needed a refresher in grad school and this was perfect.

THANK YOU. The most simple, clear and concise video I have watched on this.

[Marzmartes]

Thank you so much, my professor, gave us a video that was 1 hour long you just saved me !

[tammyt]

Thanks for this. I got a degree in History at one college and spent most of my time in MLA. Started a new college and even the humanities courses are required in APA. Quite a surprise!

[briyanataylor]

Im confused are headings the same as paragraphs?

[jessican.]

Thank you! I've been watching this for each paper until I have it down myself haha. Lifesaver!

[kimberlybermudez]

At 3:33 you can also use the tab button on your computer if you need to indent a paragraph.
