Research!

My research class seems like the most straightforward class. Kind of like algebra: x=10 and y=20, so x+y=30. Well, so far it has been the worst. We had to turn in a reference list in APA format. I used my APA publication manual and read up on all the exceptions, etc, but ended up with a big fat 0. It couldn't have been that wrong. He'll be handing them back at the end of class and will give us a week to rewrite it. So much for straight forward!

Ooops. Guess that's why you go to class and work your tail off, so you can eventually learn it! Good luck!

It seemed like that was always the hardest part for my students to get when doing their research papers. It's so very precise and persnickety. Good luck with that.
