term papers

[Diz]

I haven't written one in over a decade.

Is there a good book or site to help?

[Barbie]

Is it MLA or APA format?

[Diz]

And that is?

:lol

:lol

When I get back from the bus stop I will post some links for you!

APA and MLA are two types of format to use for research papers. Have you decided what you want to write about yet or are you just starting now? Has your teacher given you any guidelines?

[Diz]

We have been given topics to choose from. It is a psych class, and it is a research paper, but not in the traditional sense. We have to do the 'research' ourself. Not a very technical paper more observational.

MLA format (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_mla.html)

APA format (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_apa.html)

These two links might be helpful. But, I just realize that I think you are Canadian. Mabye someone can say if it's the same for Canada? :lol I'm not much help, huh?

I prefer MLA myself. LOL If you are really nervous you could look at basic style guide too.

My Psych class is making us use APA, though it is tough for me since I am so used to MLA.

My psych class used MLA. All of my other classes used Chicago.

I think I will email my prof and ask him :lol

Thanks everyone! I used to have a Psych paper outline, but when I tossed my old texts a few years back that his the garbage as well.
