Every semester we are tasked to write a paper...and every semester I'm looking up videos to help me remember how to do it lol. I will be bookmarking this video for sure. It was awesome. Thanks!

This is EXTREMELY helpful! When teachers make this seem harder than it looks... This video is a lifesaver. Thank you! Your video helped a lot!

Yessssssssss

Colin, you have taken something seemingly complicated (and a little scary) and made it simple and thus, accessible. I can not thank you enough!! THANK YOU!!!!

Honestly, I was afraid of just hearing the word A.P.A. style. You have indeed been a life saver with this video when I was in crunched time and really needed something now. Thanks a million!

You are the MVP!! Thank you! Idk why other people feel the need to make long drawn out videos explaining APA when you were able to get straight to the point with it! Thanks!!

The true mark of genius is simplicity. Thank you, sir.

You're really a saint for making this. I've had classes where the professors have spent entire class periods telling us how to do APA, and I learned more from this video than I did from all of those classes combined. All of the instructions were clear and to the point.

Every time I have to write an APA paper I look up this video, thank you Colin!

Omg I love you!!! First time college student after a 20 year return... I dont belive I did APA or MLA anything when I was in high school. Thank you for this video!

This video currently helped me an insane amount since I am taking High School online right now while I am also in College. This college paper I thought was going to be insane and it took me 12 years to fully understand MLA and I am incredibly thankful that you are able to teach APA in a short amount of time. Thank you again your a life saver!!

Thank you so much for this! I always forget how to do these formats off the top of my head, then wind up messing something up with the header or paragraph indentations like you said. This video is so very helpful, I love how you just get right to the point and show us how to do it without all of the excessive explanations we tend to get in class and from our class formatting references guides. I saved this in like 3 different places so I can always find it when I have to do a paper, this is by far the best video for APA formatting I've come across so far! :)

The most helpful video for APA format. After years I will remember these steps because it was clearly explained. Thanks!

Saved. My. Life. I was stressing so bad trying to understand this on Perdue owl. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this super helpful video! I have literally never in my past 3 years of college had to write in APA, only MLA. This makes it sooo simple to understand.

Colin, your video is a lifesaver for my students! Thank you very much for making it very quick, painless and digestible.

Widywati, you are very welcome. That was my intent in sharing it. It is short enough that my students can re-watch it when needed, and print-screen the steps at the end.

I find myself coming back to this video every time i have a submission, thanks! Awesome vid!

This dude deserves a thumbs up! Very clear and to the point and I can't say how many times i've watched this video.

One tip I would like to add is to use the vertical ruler on the left side of the page to help center the text on the title page. Your example only uses 3 lines on the title page, but if you need to add more lines, spacing down a random number of times could make the text not be centered vertically on the title page. Your explanation of running heads and page numbers are a life saver!

Very helpful & concise. You made APA formatting in Word very user-friendly. Thank you!

This has been the most helpful video I've seen! Thank you very much Colin!!!!

Thank you for making this easy to follow guide! This is a great resource for someone returning to university after being out of high school since '06. Thanks a million!

I slowed down the speed and worked as you talked, thank you for this video

I appreciate the straight, forward, streamline information contained, that omits the extra verbage that only distracts!!

I don't usually comment on videos, but I'd like to thank you for making my life a little bit easier with this video. It's an absolute lifesaver. You explain things so easily without babying the listener and simply explaining to them like a real person. Cant thank you enough.

I’m writing my final Capstone paper because I’ll be graduating in May! Yay! I’ve used the steps in this video countless times in the last 2 years and I’ve sent the link to my classmates. You’ve really simplified the APA process for many students and elevated much of the stress associated with writing papers. So thank you for this video! 👍🏽

About to finish my degree and I have to thank you for this video. Every week I would use it just to make sure I was doing the right thing. Thank you!

Awesome! I dreaded this so much and you made it so easy! The word APA gave me a headache...so relieved! THANKS!

What an awesome, detailed and concise video! Thank you very much, this was extremely helpful.

Fantastic! Thank you! I don't know why they make this so friggin hard. The instructions in my first online class assignment were vague and this video cleared it all up. THANK YOU!

Thank you Colin, from the bottom of my perfectly formatted document (and top and everything in between)

Thank you for this easy to understand tutorial. You're a real hero!

Life saver. I wish everyone could be to the point and efficient in their teaching or videos. I learned more in this 4 minutes than my 2 writing classes.

Honestly, my biology teacher is a savage, she is constantly drowning us with homework, and I did not know what to do. To be honest, I still don't know how I've made it this far. I've used this video twice now, and since I can't high-five you over the internet, I guess a "Thank you very much" will have to do. Cheers mate!

Thank you Burd! My students are often long-removed from academia, and the (required) APA format is simply another punishment for returning. This video was intended to simplify it for all of their classes, as well as those who find it on KZread. Watch for the new APA 7th ed. video (7th ed. has some dramatic changes) in the next couple of months... Thanks again, Colin.

Thanks for making video short and explaining each and every thing in detail as well
