Hello Readers,
We had our 3rd and final event for the semester: the APA Workshop. We considered it a success because 3 students showed up. That's 3 students we've helped out ( better than zero, diba?). It was great that another faculty ( besides our supervisor ) was also present; her voice in the matter lend credibility and authority along with the writing assistants' voices.
Our handout was done in APA style, listing page numbers from the standard textbook's APA section ( used in English classes here ) and showing examples of in-text citations. It also included 2 website references: APAstyle.org, and Purdue OWL ( for future considerations ).
Because of the small attendance, the atmosphere was definitely personal. The QandA segment was very helpful and interactive ( driven by students' concerns ). We hoped we stressed enough the importance of referring back to the handbook instead of memorizing ( also communicating with one's professors' and their modified/preferred style ).
