Product Description
This guide, updated for use with the sixth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, is designed to help improve students' understanding and use of APA Style before they begin writing term papers and research reports, allowing instructors in academic settings to concentrate more on course material and less on correcting style errors in students' papers. Mastering APA Style: Instructor's Resource Guide contains eight multiple-choice assessment surveys, correction keys, and answer sheets, along with informative instructions on how to incorporate this material into a curriculum. This essential APA Style resource also enables editorial trainers to help copy editors polish their skills as they gain a thorough knowledge of APA Style and the Publication Manual. Included within each mastery test are multiple test questions relating to key APA Style points on references and citations, grammar, headings, serialization, statistical and mathematical copy, italics and capitalization, numbers style, and table formatting. This guide is an effective learning tool for instructors and students to use in the classroom or as guided or independent study.

 good reference to teaching APA February 2, 2010
Janet E. Eckhart (Jonesborough, TN)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Good reference if you are teaching a course on APA, but I haven't found it particularly helpful as a reference source to guiding writing style. I gave the book to the library at the college so they can use it as a review tool for students using the writing center and went back to the manual. That isn't the fault of the book, it just didn't meet my needs.
Can't use it if it's on Amazon! January 10, 2010

As someone else mentioned, this is a testbank more than a user manual. As an instructor, that WOULD have been great as it would have saved me a lot of time in creating tests. But HELLO, I can't use a testbank that is available to all my students through Amazon!! Most publishers of academic sources go to a lot of effort to protect the sanctity test banks, but apparently it did not occur to the APA to keep this one off of Amazon. Too bad, because now I can't use it.
Delivery excellent. Product defective January 7, 2010

The American Psychological Association (APA) errored in this publication and made correction of their error as convenient for APA as possible at the expense of the customer. I had to do without a manual for over a week as APA had to receive the defective manual before sending the corrected manual. I even offered to give them my credit card information so they could charge me if they didn't receive the defective edition. I pleaded with them to no avail. APA really needs to work on customer service and bearing the brunt of the burden for their error as opposed to inconviencing the customers.
 Just what I needed. January 7, 2010
J. Dittrich
I'm an instructor and was looking for exam questions-just what I needed. Not as much help with learning the APA style but this wasn't my need.
Good for Evaluation Materials August 6, 2003

This is a good resource guide if you need materials to test a student's knowledge of APA Style. I found it useful to evaluate students' knowledge of APA format before I had covered any material. Unfortunately, I was expecting more information on pedagogical methods for teaching APA Style, not just for testing students on it. The resource guide consists of multiple choices evaluations and answer keys. If that is what you are looking for, it is a very useful resource.
