who knew citing was so complicating (by me, 2020, during a pandemic, trying to do an essay, not understanding, et. al).

[hannah]

this was so much easier to understand than that entire lesson we spent on apa citing

[brotherhh]

You explained me in 3 minutes what my teacher tried to teach me in 20 min

Hi, you may have single handedly saved my school career with this video. I haven't found any other sources that lay it out so clearly, and I just couldn't grasp how they work. So thank you very much for making this video!

[stormycox]

I have been a continued college student for 3 years and this has been the most simple and easy explanation I have had! Thank you !

[mitth_raw_nuruodo]

This woman right here saved my capstone project(and technically my entire semester) in a couple minutes. Thank you.

[Tayle]

omg you are awesome saved me lots of reading in my apa manual that gives me a headache

[WavyGravy]

I have used this video for every APA-style paper I have written, thank you so much!

[fkoff]

Dude this is the easiest tutorial I've washed so far and love how to do your examples comparing all of them at once not a bunch of stuff in 1 screen. Ty so much. I took a break for 1 year when my husband and I got engaged and forgot everything. Lol

[chrisscott]

thank for making it short and simple, i found a lot of videos from 10 to 24 minutes

[tamimaahmed]

You're so transparent. These vids helped me to complete my assignment without any hassle. x

[momowawa]

why can't teaching be like this, precise, straight to the point.

I don't how many times I've come back to this video to make sure I've got the syntax right, but I have recommended it to anyone who never learned citations in high school or college. I also recommend to them The Scribbr APA generator you introduced, with the warning that you you forego the auto-generator at your own peril. University professors slice these citations up with finely honed kitchen knives, each cut shaving points from your overall grade. Thanks.

[dazestrom]

Thank you for this easy explanation it’s way better than teachers explaining it with no examples

[maureenlee]

Thank you so much Jessica. Its very informative and helpful for students and educators.

[jessamaedonayre]

I forgot some information about when is the right time we use 'et al.' Finally, it helps me keep what I have learned.

[Willedcub]

Thanks for this video Jessica from Scribbr. Both the video itself and the recommendation to Scribbr's Free APA Citation Generator were very helpful. Keep up the good work. o7

[shawkigahrani]
