Synopsis

This accessible and invaluable workbook-style reference guide will help your students smooth the transition from writing for composition classes to writing for psychology classes. Author Lenore T. Szuchman quickly and succinctly provides the basics of APA style in WRITING WITH STYLE. Szuchman's years of experience teaching writing-intensive courses give her an inside track on the trouble spots students often encounter when writing papers and dealing with APA style. The unique workbook format offers both a quick reference to APA style and interactive exercises that give students a chance to practice what they've learned. They'll be encouraged to use already published articles as models, so they're introduced to journal sources in a nonthreatening way. Szuchman pinpoints the kinds of errors that are often made, followed by suggested solutions.
