APA Software - tmporter68 - 06-13-2009
Has anyone used the APA software PERRLA or any other brand? Can you tell me if itâs worth purchasing and how easy it is to use?
Thanks!

I have heard really good things about PERRLA, but havn't used it myself. It's on my list of things to buy though!

It helps you write in APA style which is American Psychological Association- but generically speaking, any social sciences usually use this format when writing academic papers- it depends on the field you study as to the style expected. Usually grad school is pretty specific/demanding about certain formats (there are others besides APA), and the software helps a great deal as I understand. APA style is ridiculous about placement of indentations, periods, commas, dates, quotes, spacing, etc. Some schools are more hard-core than others. My last Harvard course was taught by a professor who wrote the book (literally) on psych department writing for Harvard students (APA style)- so it was a HUGE stress writing for that course (never mind the content! LOL). I'm hoping to have the software for my next class.
