APA The Easy Way! Updated for the APA 6th Edition Peggy M Houghton Timothy J Houghton Michele M Pratt Books Reviews

• I had been taught the MLA format since high school were it was ingrained in my brain to the point where it became second nature. This continued in college where MLA was expected. However I returned to college in a different state in a different part of the country (1600 miles away) and now here comes P.I.T.A APA. She is a horrible wench, the girl is school who everyone hates because she is SO PARTICULAR about everything and has to have her way. Her way or the highway. I hate APA--but I love this book! I was tired of getting docked 1/2 or even 1 point for not getting the format right and I am sorry but those Cite-generation websites don't work with college professors! I considered buying the professional APA manual but on a college budget I bought APA The Easy Way instead. It was the best investment in a book I have ever made. Now I don't get knocked points because I am FINALLY getting the format right! This book is so easy to understand and they guide you step-by-step with relevant examples for each type of resource. Trying to get MLA out of my head was a struggle, but this book saved me by teaching me a new way to cite my resources and prevent me from being accused of plagiarism. If you struggle with APA (and even if you don't) buy this book and save your sanity (and points on your homework) you won't regret it!
• I teach online psychology courses for a large for-profit university. I teach classes at all levels from lower division undergraduate to doctoral level students. I recommend this book to my undergraduate students because they are pretty much clueless about APA formatting (understandably), which is required in all papers. Ideally it would be nice if they actually used the APA publication manual but there is almost no chance of that. This is an accurate and easy to use tool for the neophyte academic writer. I use it myself for quick reference.
  
  I would not recommend this for graduate students because there is more to the APA writing style than simple formatting. At the graduate level, the university requires the use of the publication manual.
• This book is a concentrated synopsis of how to format an APA paper correctly. I have referred to it countless times, and the section on formatting for Word (older and newer versions) is worth the price of the book alone! Yes, for more in-depth information the APA Manual is great, but it is cumbersome. For quick reference, this booklet is amazing and has saved my 3am sanity more than once. You won't regret buying this, even with APA information out there on the internet. This booklet puts all of the essentials in one place. Highly recommended for undergrads and grad students alike.
• This books is a joke and a rip off of your money. The printing is almost as if the ink was running out and faint on many pages. Towards the last half many pages are crooked in the printing and several have portions where part of the information is cut off. Then there are the pages that are stuck together and the binding that basically ripped off as soon as I opened the book all of the way. Opened it maybe 10 minutes ago and I’m not the kind of person who rolls the cover back.
• I purchased this book as well as the full APA manual. I’ve gotten a lot of use out of this book while writing my papers for school because it’s very concise and easy to read. The full APA manual is a bit wordy and has lots of information, so it’s been useful to have a quick guide for references and in-text citations. However, I will say that I have needed to break out the APA manual a few times to for more in-depth explanations, so I do recommend buying both for other students that will be using APA style frequently.
• If you do not want to purchase the full APA Manual, this is an ideal alternative. This book is short and compact with information. Everything you need to know is in this book along with examples of how to write in APA. Would definitely recommend if you do not want to purchase the actual manual and want to save a few dollars.
• This is a must have if you don't want to get nick off for points when your doing your references or citations. After a few times you will get the hang of it, but for now-have this handy!! I write papers once a week and have been doing it for several years. I always used a web based informational site or got ahold of student services. But this is the route to take. Don't take an advanced level class without it!. They expect you to know this stuff.
• I LOVE this manual. It's my go-to for every paper! I have the full APA manual, and there's always Purdue Owl- but I really do LOVE having this on hand! It absolutely covers the basics in a very clear, practical way, and is perfect for student papers.
