I agree with my classmate Krista…I wish I would have watched the video’s from RRU library’s regarding writing paragraphs and APA before I started LRNT 521! I found these to be really informative and will be a great resource.
While there are many academic writing resources available online and available through the Royal Roads website, I am going to share two resources that assist with APA as this was my biggest challenge. The first is one that I used almost every day as I worked through my Bachelors of Adult Education recently, it is the OWL Perdue website (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/). This website provides a wealth of resources from everything from citations, referencing and APA styles, it also gives examples of each.
The next one is a citation generator that I used for help to properly reference in APA style. I found it to be very accurate, however with all things online, make sure to double check before you copy and paste (http://citationproducer.com/apa-citation/).
ENJOY!
Those are my two favorites for managing APA too!
TBH, every time I have a question, I wind up at the owl at purdue. One day I plan to absorb some of the information instead of simply re-reading it. One day.
Thank you, Steve for the great APA resources–definitely bookmarked. Does anyone else have nightmares of APA symbols and punctuation lurking in the shadows!
Hi Steve.
That APA citation tool is so awesome! I have been using the Google Scholar button, but will incorporate this tool now, too. I’ll let you know which seems to be more accurate.
Hope you are well and enjoying the summer!
Karen.
PS: I watched RRU video right before I handed in LRNT 521’s final assignment. Boy, did I have a lot of editing to do.
Hi Karen,
I’m impressed by the amount and quality of resources available from the RRU writing centre… the only problem is I don’t have time to go through them all!
