I'm going into my second year of college and believe it or not, I have never been properly taught how to do a research paper. This video was easy to follow, I loved the notes in the right corner on the screen and I actually could follow alone and make the perfect paper. Now to get the body of the paper correct.
It may easy for some people but it's pretty tough for a person who never used it!! I hate it, really. I just don't understand why my teacher wanted us to use this to do her assignment and didn't explain anything about it! Kind of suck and I have to go everywhere to find and try it. But well, your Video is helpful somehow =] I'll try and hope I could do well =) Thanks!
I agree that the details required for APA can be frustrating and time consuming to complete. The requirement for APA goes beyond plagiarism concerns, though - it's about providing a consistent format for readers so that they can identify parts of your paper - and the types of resources you use - easily. it would be like if every book was put together differently - upside down, backward, etc. Obviously the consistent format is more important at the graduate level, but this is good practice.
If you noticed, at 1:14 when she set the margin, it did not work. Notice the ruler on the left does not show a 1" margin, also the cursor is still at the top of the page. A few moments later, at 1:41, the margin is magically corrected. That is because she changed a setting without showing or telling you. Here is the setting she changed: click TOOLS/OPTIONS/VIEW Then click the box titled WHITE SPACES BETWEEN PAGES. The margins will now work. Also, she did not insert a Running head:
@danirochey An abstract should be a summary of your entire paper in about 75-150 words (the Purdue OWL says 150-250, but this really depends on the length of your paper). You will probably start with your thesis but you should also make note of your methods and results (albeit briefly). The abstract follows the title page, and starts with the word Abstract, top-center (your paper should already include the paper header). The abstract is not indented.
Can you do a new one with the new 2009 6th edition of APA, just to make sure that everything is right! I plan to use your video to teach my students in a university! -Dr. H
My teacher wrote on our project "Remember, this assignment is to teach you to write papers in a professional manner" .... we spend the whole class talking about random bullshit, then you get this handed in the final two minutes and she's like OK ANY QUESTIONS? GOOD BAI SEEYA
*essay.k0e.all-about.in* I thought that my chances to enter Hunter College were too low, so I decided to entrust this assignment to a professional service. I found this website and they turned out to be awesome! Not only did I get quick responses to all my questions and inquiries, but also received my essay two days earlier and I didn't have to make any corrections.
I hate APA. I know how to do it but really its just a waste of f*****g time IMO. Want proof I didn't plagiarize? Just post the damn web links you used for research under your paper. Done.

Thanks a lot. This is a simple and an effective method of learning the APA format. Far more better than reading other sites about APA.
5 Stars!
Thanks man! i had to write my paper in APA style and i get confused in some part when the lecturer is teaching.this is much more straightforward.
Plainly, basic explaining how to do in APA excellent tut.!! Helped me -- not like those other info explaining how to.
This was very helpful, do you plan to do a current one on windows 10 or how to operate windows 8? If not thanks for what you have already done.

@JamaicanPrincessChan I know right, 'sactly. Why do we need to write something fancy if we're gonna write an essay anyways....
I don't understand the indenting part :'(
My teacher wrote on our project "Remember, this assignment is to teach you to write papers in a professional manner" .... we spend the whole class talking about random bullshit, then you get this handed in the final two minutes and she's like OK ANY QUESTIONS? GOOD BAI SEEYA
I miss XP!

@JamaicanPrincessChan
Professors don't even get the point of APA, they just assign it and think it's what we should have to do because they did.
good informative video but I couldn't pause or play a part again. Made the experience annoying.
sucks for you guys, i just finished my final copy :P
@SalvadoreanKOV lol youtube helps alot! MY PROFESSOR DID THAT TOO
Inb4"Number1Bossssentmehere."
I don't understand the 13 dislikes? Trolls!
APA formatting is fucking convoluted and irritating. I have to set up the damn formatting and shit before I can even begin writing my ACTUAL PAPER
you can download and use the template online
Can anyone write my essay?

Thanks.
Anybody else want to punch their computer screen when formatting APA?
waaaa my 11th grade teacher is making my class use this style for a 10 page paper. This sucks
She sounds so depressed
Whoever invented APA is a sadist.
I hate APA format, it sucks.
