Learning APA Formatting
Due to the variety of writing styles and information displayed in different courses, there are also appropriate formats for writing pieces. It is very important to be flexible when writing by knowing each of these formats. It is also very important in clarifying with the professor what format is expected of students in each assignment if it is not already expressed in assignment guidelines. By doing these two things, a student will be able to set his or herself up for success in any writing assignment and effectively avoid committing plagiarism. I plan to learn APA formatting by studying with Purdue Owl and Khan Academy, so that I can use this format effectively when writing scientific article reviews or other research papers in upcoming nursing courses.
