 APA Style: Student Workbook A Must for Any College Student July 26, 2005
20 out of 22 found this review helpful
The APA Style: Student Workbook and Training Guide is an excellent tool for any college student at any level. I am in my senior year of college and have struggled with my writing abilities from the beginning. Thanks to this Workbook, I was able to narrow down my weaknesses and actually work on my problematic areas like: grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure.
The spiral notebook style of this book comes in very handy when studying the book itself or using it as a reference book when writing papers. I recommend this book to anyone needing help with problematic writing errors or just need an APA Style Manual to assist with references.
 Mastering APA Style January 4, 2007

This book was very helpful for me because it had actual exercises for me to evaluate and complete and the answers were on the opposite page. Because of the ring binder, it was easy to complete the exercise without being tempted to look over to the next page. But once I was done, opening the book with the pages both in view aided me with understanding when I was incorrect and why.

Yes, I purchased the "Mastering APA Style," Student's Workbook and Training Guide, it is a wonderful book. It has showed me a lot about the Grammer I guess I missed out on in school, but I am due to the contents in this book, getting better at writing. This book has been a great purchase in my future, if anyone is looking for a good book to learn APA writing style this is the book for you.

 A Style Manual lacking, uh, Style November 12, 2007

I have to admit, the book lost me on page one with the sickening "According to Merriam-Websters Collegiate Dictionary, style is " a convention with respect..." blah blah. Is that the best of your collective efforts?
So, with that grabber of an opener, the reader is treated to an oddly reverent discussion on APA style. As the other reviewers stated, it isn't a reference in any form. I suppose, if one were really, really committed to the APA style they could wade through this book and learn the in's and out's of the style. Outside of a class specifically on that topic, I can't imagine anyone spending the time to complete the lessons.
So, I will purchase a reference book and learn an important lesson on reading the book description carefully.
