Instructors in Psychology here commonly complain that
their students are unable to write APA style reports. By the time we get
them they have already had one or two English courses designed to teach them how
to write, including professional writing in APA-Style. My friend in the
English department advised me "When I taught the social science-directed
section, I had my students use APA. Many teachers require APA in ENGL 1100 too.
I don’t trust students when they say things like “I never had to write a
research paper.” I teach APA style and give students a formatting checklist, and
many still botch it. So I’m not surprised if students that you encounter seem
like they’ve not learned a thing."
