Description

A number of governing bodies have developed standards for paper submissions. In academia, paper submissions are often referred to as manuscripts. The American Psychological Association (APA) is one such organization that has placed standards on manuscript submission.College and Universities often select APA formatting as a requirement for student manuscripts. Professional manuscripts are also often required to be in APA format, depending on the governing body accepting the submission.This course will teach you how to format a template, which can then be used continuously, conforming to APA formatting standards. The formatting associated with APA can be tedious and meticulous; however, it is my job to help make the process easy and rewarding.Students who have taken this course in the past and remained consistent through completion of the course, were thankful they spent the extra time setting up APA formatting correctly the first time. They then had a template they could use in the future.Whether you are a seasoned professional looking for a refresh on APA formatting or a freshman in college writing your first APA manuscript, I am here to help and serve. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to working with you in this skillset acquisition.
