How to Format your Paper in APA Style in 2024

[@rosabarron8929]

Thank you for your help on getting my paper properly formatted. I am 64 years old and had no idea how to start. Thank you so much.

[@bzinnj]

Chelsea, you have helped me out numerous times as I navigate my doctorate. I cannot tell you how helpful all your material has been, especially the literature review. I think you have a great energy, and you make mundane subjects’ fun to learn about. Keep it up! - Bryan

Chelsea!!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!!! I just wrote a paper yesterday and I joined your live webinar, on Saturday, followed what you said and I got my mark back..... I GOT A 98%!!!! The marker said "One of the best papers I’ve had to review!"......This has never happened before in my life. I am 30 and went back to school and I was struggling. Still took me a while to write the paper, but you have literally saved me for the rest of my degree. I can't thank you enough Chelsea. Seriously from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much.

[@smartstudent_official]

Yayyyy!! So happy to read that. I love when everything clicks into place like that. I had a similar moment as a student myself when I learned a lot of what I teach now. I'll be wishing you the best of luck!

[@SerialChiller12101]

I know right I am surprised that some collages don’t incorporate an APA class or help prepare the student to learn how to do an APA paper. My Introduction to Criminal Justice course wants us to do an APA paper at least 4 pages when we have never done a APA formatted paper in his class before. Videos like this are such a valuable resource when you are expected to do a different formatted paper for the first time.

I'm currently in my MBA program where APA style is required and I have to say that you have saved me from flunking every paper. Thanks!

[@KelleyEastman]

Your videos are amazing. I did hit one snag. *In Word, when I did the running head the way you explained it kept deleting my page number. If anyone else is having this issue, there is an east fix. When you finish typing your shorter title, double click where you want the page number, hold "ALT+SHIFT+P". This will automatically put the page number where you placed your cursor.

Sadly, a large part of the APA format is whatever the instructor says it is. You need to email each instructor for clarifications and guidance.

I was literally just watching your old one as I am back at it again. Your video quality has gone up and so has the demands of my paper! Perfect match. I wonder what my professor would think if he knew I got all of my tips off of youtube. He's probably used to it by now. Thanks for your help, this is such amazing timing for me. Did you make this video because you knew it's getting towards the end of spring semester and people are going to need the help?

[@smartstudent_official]

Thank you so much for your support! I really appreciate it. Honestly, I doubt your professor would be surprised. Since they switched from APA 6th-7th edition even professors are using KZbin to learn the new formatting. So I remade this video for a few reasons - 1. I knew I could make it better because I know the common questions that are asked thanks to the other video. 2. I've had a busy month and I needed somewhat of a break so it was the perfect time to recreate a video I've already done since the information is somewhat the same :) Mutually beneficial!

[@LadyCoyKoi]

For the hanging indent, there is an easier version. First, you highlight the references, right click, click on the word paragraph and then click on the word hanging. You don't need to mess around with the ruler or those margin arrows. I tried doing your version and it always results messing up the whole paper. By using the "highlighting and right clicking" method you avoid the mess and target only the information you need hanging. The schools don't teach your method, due to the possible mess that playing with the ruler and arrows can do to a paper. Also, highlighting and right clicking is better for those of us with track ball mouse and hand disabilities. No sliding needed.
