    Just another something to distract from the education system. I've spent more time looking up how to format a paper for a non-english class then focusing on the teachings of the class. Here is a fact. No idea is truly original. Thank you for explaining it!!!

    So true. I hate the little nuances like capping the first letter but not the others in a title except for proper nouns; using "and" verse using ampersand, etc. It's just too much.

    Amen. I’m a fan of credit where credit is due, but come on. If I gave you enough information to find the source and verify my accuracy, what value does all this minutiae add to my education, or the collective conversation? Obnoxious. I wrote my essay in 45 minutes and I’ve been obsessing about these stupid citations for just as long. Surely the meat of my ideas is more worthwhile?

    As a general rule, you use the last name only for the citation, but last name along with first and middle initials for the references. Rarely, if ever, would you use the entire first and last name, with the exception of perhaps in the narrative itself (i.e., not a parenthetical citation).

    Mr. Phillips this is a good start, but these references are easily used in Microsoft Word Citations and Bibliography (Reference tab), you simply fill in the information under the book or journal. The harder APA references are for videos, library sources, and websites. I get my errors from video references.

    The References tools are fairly reliable for formatting print references (except for line spacing) but not necessarily for electronic references. You still need to have a good grasp of style requirements so you can catch mistakes that Word makes. Microsoft is not going to update their software whenever APA or MLA makes a change. But when starting a new document you can search for an APA template. Word 2016 returns 2. "Trust, but verify." Ronald Reagan

    As an aspiring screenwriter, whenever I come up with my own ideas for a narrative, I sometimes strongly refuse to believe that someone else has already thought of it. The impression of having invented something or originated an idea gives you the feeling of honor, and the possibility of another individual sharing that idea can be despicable. However, when it comes to writing essays, I'm on the same page as you, since I despise the responsibility of citing sources in APA format. There have been times when I felt that I'd getting deduction in the score or even failing the course is more preferable than doing that. That's how excruciating it is.
