Tips on How to Get Straight A’s in College

[tpowell]

In my CC and on Study.com, APA wasn't that big of a deal, so I didn't know that I was making lots of mistakes with APA until I started my capstone.  I was lucky that my professor was patient, and I was still receiving grades in the '90s even though there were errors with my APA.

TESU recommends Purdue Owl as an APA resource:

Citation Machine was also useful to me though you still have to learn all the exceptions to the different rules and sometimes it will make mistakes.

Another thing that helps is to get organized and write a schedule of due dates, so you don't turn in assignments late.  This can be done on Google Calendar or a spreadsheet.

1) I  highly suggest investing in Grammarly or readability.
2) Layout your paper sections using the rubric framework, then write each section according to the step-by-step instructions.
3) Recheck for cohesiveness
4) Submit and wait for your A OR A+
