Book Description
This accessible and invaluable workbook-style reference guide will help your students smooth the transition from writing for composition classes to writing for psychology classes. Author Lenore T. Szuchman quickly and succinctly provides the basics of APA style in Writing with Style. Szuchman's years of experience teaching writing-intensive courses give her an inside track on the trouble spots students often encounter when writing papers and dealing with APA style. The unique workbook format offers both a quick reference to APA style and interactive exercises that give students a chance to practice what they've learned. They'll be encouraged to use already published articles as models, so they're introduced to journal sources in a nonthreatening way. And Szuchman pinpoints the kinds of errors that are often made, followed by suggested solutions.
About the Author
Dr. Lenore Szuchman is a developmental psychologist who earned her Ph.D. at Florida International University. As an undergraduate, Dr. Szuchman majored in comparative literature at Brandeis University, and then went on to receive an M.A. in special education from the University of Texas at Austin. Today, at Barry University, Dr. Szuchman teaches writing-intensive courses, specifically Experimental Psychology and Advanced Experimental Psychology, that help students make the transition from other types of college writing to the writing required of scientific psychologists. In her classes students conduct experiments, write APA-style manuscripts, and develop independent research proposals. Dr. Szuchman also advises on master theses and senior projects. Feedback from her students called attention to the need for the exercises in this book.
