Question

Im taking a class in college, which is the first class I have taken in many many years. We are to write all papers in APA Style. I dont remember being taught this in highschool. Thank you.

Answer 1

It is a college writing requirement for formatting and citing sources. Just type in "APA" in google or even if your college has a student help site and it will explain more in detail.

Answer 3

American Psychological Association is what it stands for.  You can look online, or if you are like me and need an actual book, the library carries copies of it.  It was a required textbook in one of my english courses, and its the most used text book i ever bought!  I still use it, and I have been out of college for 6 years.
