😁Thanks so much for this video! I had to return to it 5 months later because I couldn't figure out why my title wasn't centering properly and remembered you covered it, so now I got it! Thank you for the detailed instructional videos!
This is a great tutorial. The way I input hanging indents is to input all my references then highlight them all and press crtl +T.
Hi, Erikewanna. That works, too! You can also highlight the References page and go to paragraph, indent, hanging.
This was perfect have not written a essay in 2 years needed this.
thank you so much for posting this I have a terrible teacher and this just saved me
Happy to help, Anthony. Though, as a teacher, I'm dying to know what makes one terrible!
Thank you so much! It’s my first year of uni, and this video helped me like no other could, cheers!!!
This was perfect. My professor gave us powerpoint on the 6th edition and then emailed us saying to use the 7th edition 🙄 Small little changes but they are the ones that matter when he grades it! lol
very short , informative, clear, concise video . thank u
Thank you
Thank you so much for making this. Saved my educational career! Graci!
Great overview. There appears to be capitalization errors in the first two sources on the references page. (1) Capitalize the first word after a colon, so the correction should be Wonders in autistic friendship: Connections... (timestamp 11:20); (2) Do not capitalize words in a book title (unless first word, proper noun, or first word after a colon), so the correction should be Autism socialization. Thank you!
Also shouldnt it be a period and comma after the K (McWurther, K & Love, A.)
Thank you for being so clear and concise
This is very helpful. Thank you!
Setting up a hanging indent in the Paragraph formatting for Word is much better than the tab which might change if opened in different systems.
True story, Joy. We thought of that after the fact, but hope this method can help, too.
Thank you! Great examples!
There is an option on Microsoft Word for Hanging Indent in the same dialog box where you would double space your paper. That is much easier and it takes the guesswork out of when to backspace, enter, tab.
Thanks, Robin! That works, too :)
Thank you! Your voice sounds like Khloe Kardashian. This was extremely helpful!!!! Thank you, again
I am flattered :) Happy this helped, Kristen!
Thanks Kayleigh. That's really helpful and very clear. Cheers!
Very helpful
Thank You
Does the title of the paper just need to be on the first page of the body of the paper or at the top of every page?
For pages, it would be delete, return, and tab.
This was very helpful.Thank you.
So helpful!
Another great video, thanks
Thank you, Kayleigh!
Is there a video for personal statement when applying for a school. Thank you
Honestly good video
very useful. Thank you!
Great job thank you.
Thanks for the great overview. Questions: The three blank lines you added at the top - Are those double spaced as well? It didn't appear to be. Does it matter? Also, what is wrong with using the built in references tool in word?
Hi, Brian! They are double-spaced. It might matter, but not as much as love or nature :) We're lighthearted about perfection here. Just do your best! My qualm with the tool in Word is it tends to leave folks needing to make so many edits (changes color, font size for no discernable reason) that one might as well just do it once manually and save the template forever. The tool appears to save time, but it does not in the long run! Thanks for watching.
How come there is no running head in the paper format? and why do we have to indent the first letter in the body format?
Hi, Bisayang! There is no running head in the student paper version of APA 7th edition. Watch (3:40) for more on that. All papers in American essays indent the first line of paragraphs, to set them apart form each other without wasting more space than is needed.
thank you. question how does the title page copies the second page and on?
Hi, Luko! I'm not sure I understand your question. There is only one title page in an APA paper.
Very helpful!
Do the hyperlinks stay?? This confuses me because it was a no no before and her reference page has all the blue underlines and clickable links. So, do we keep the hyperlink or no?
Hi, Lyndsay! Sorry for the delay. Keep the links! That's new to 7th edition :)
Thank you for your assistance :)
Rica ederim, Ali Bey.
Thank you !!!
Would the title "Friendship and Autism: How Children on the Spectrum Connect" Be at the top of every page?
Hi @zach. No, in older editions, and in the professional paper style it might: bit.ly/APAStyleSamplePapers but this video covers the student paper.
So my word is set to apa 6th edition, I need to use 7th edition. how do i update it to reflect the changes
This guide encourages you to do your formatting manually; save it as a template and use it over and over! The settings in Word are not useful if they're out of date, and even when they are not, we find constant errors in student paper that rely on automation.
I hope she's submitted this paper! It's due in 6 days! Lol
Me too, Robert! It's an important grade :)
I am about to write a learners module in science. I want to ask if I will include scientific terms and their definition do I need to write them word for word? Or paraphrase them?
If I can include them word for word how can I do it without committing plagiarism?
Thanks.
Hi, Anjo! Watch our videos on "Avoiding Plagiarism" and "Integrating Quotations" and "Paraphrase and Summary." In General, APA prefers paraphrase.
Is APA style for a PhD thesis is same as that of a paper?
no. This type of paper works only if you're an undergrad or in high school. There is another format graduate and professional papers must follow.
@@mazesigns7089 thanks alot
@@bruins9696 okay...so now my understanding is that we can follow professional paper format for writing Ph.D thesis in APA style
so no more 12 pt times new roman font ?
Yes, that is an option. I do discuss the allowed fonts, around 6:20. You can also find a list at apastyle.apa.org.
Thank you! x3
HANGING INDENT: Please don't tell people to use the tab for a hanging indent. It doesn't come out right for multi-line references. They should be using the hanging indent setting in paragraph settings. I can't believe you don't know that.
Hi, K! We did mention this in previous comments :) There are many ways to set a hanging indent, and if you use the spacing settings in the paragraph menu, removing extra space, the multi-line reference will land correctly. We at Academic Support are always learning; thanks for your understanding.
Writing seems easy in my native language but getting frustrated in English 😭
hi
2021 ??? DIS BITCH IS PAPER IS DUE IN THE FUTURE?
Papers are usually due in the future unless you procrastinate ;p
