APA Question & first week of MBA :)

[bricabrac]

@burbuja0512 - Actually, that workshop sounds like fun to me! I like writing; probably have about ten or so writing/research and style books.

@marianne - I know that burns! I would definitely refer her to the APA guidelines. Do you still have the same instructor? I would send her the link/pdf and innocently ask if she is using APA 5th or 6th Ed as a guide to write papers in her course. She may still have the last edition in mind although the update was two years ago. From all the negative reviews I understand there was a ton of mistakes in the first printing. (Gotta love those publishers rushing to the pre$$es.) That may be the text she is using. The manual is currently on its fifth print incorporating the changes/corrections.
Second Printing: October 2009
Third Printing: December 2009
Fourth Printing: April 2010
Fifth Printing: October 2010

I've only had one issue with a SL grader. (I think I read somewhere on the forum they use smarthinking tutors to grade their papers.) Whoever graded my final report dinged me for the running header. Imagine something so basic in an APA paper. I did not care because it was still an A paper (and only SL) but it stung nonetheless. Idiots.
