What are the advantages of using APAformatting for afcademic papers?

Its much simpler than other formats. For instance when siting work you only need to put the last name of the author and page number in parenthesis after the sentence or paragraph, which can then be looked up in your bibliography or works cited page at the end of your paper. Other formats require more information be entered within the paper itself besides the work cited page. I use APA whenever possible, it seems complicated at first but once you write a paper or two using it you discover that once you get the hang of it, it's much easier to use..

Did you try a yahoo search on APA format?  \n\nIt brings up very descriptive websites that should answer all your questions. \n\nYou might try your local library too.  \n\nI thought college students were smarter than this.

I have personally found picture-word association very effective when trying to study.  I am a college student who swears by the wonders of picture-word association.

Hi\n\nI think this question has been asked before, however I would suggest you tried Inflight Referencer at http://bibliography.inflightTM.com or http://www.inflightTM.com/ref -Both web addresses take you to the same place.\n\nThere is also software from the APA, however it's quite clunky and not as user friendly. Referencer seems to be the most easiest to use and does a good job of managing your research references, plus it does Harvard and custom styles as well.\n\nGood luck and peace.

Obviously depends on what you're using it for.  Some easy ones:\n\n* Formula updates - can do hours of manual calculations for you automatically in a second, and redo them if a base value changes.\n\n* Sorting - can be sorted on one or more columns, allowing you to easily rank data or create an alphabetical list.\n\n* Cut/Paste - changes/additions/deletions are all relatively painless, whereas on paper they might make you redo the entire thing.

I assume your refering to a college dissertation.  One advantage of doing a dissertation is that at the end of it you have significant piece of work that you can use in your resume or portfolio when applying for a job. Secondly, if your dissertation is written well enough, it has a potential of being published.  And if you are looking into Higher education (masters, etc.) some schools will offer you grants or scholarships based on the success of your dissertation.\nThe disadvangtes are that it is VERY time consuming.  I've spent two years on mine, and its alot of research, writing, and rewriting. You really have to allocate your time, so that your not doing it all at once under pressure, coming close to a deadline. I find that doing a dissertation, depending on the subject material, it is hard to original in thought.

For me the answer is simple. More engaging material, better context and the fact that the profs treat us like adults versus like little kids. You can build a great relationship with your professor / instructor and transcend the student-teacher relationship.
