However, the official guide can be intimidating for adult learners, especially those returning to college or adult education after a long absence. In efforts to simplify the APA style for classroom use, Essential APA Format for Student Writing provides examples of reference citations and samples of student papers. Whenever possible, citation examples from the sixth edition are included alongside the current seventh edition for the sake of comparison. Instead of slogging through the entire APA manual or fumbling around on the internet to find examples, student writers can use this book as a quick reference formatting guide on how to write and arrange APA research papers. In addition to general APA guidelines, and detailed instruction on in-text citations, grammar and style, this book offers learn-by-example guidance on the fundamentals of APA.
