Mastering APA Style: Student's Workbook and Training Guide Fifth Edition PDF

While this appears to be an excellent textbook, it was not a helpful resource to those looking for information on citing various references and sources. This book is strictly for those who are or will be writing papers meant for publication. However, if you are looking for a book with listings of how to cite your sources (i.e. a bibliography) you won't find that information here.

By A Customer

Take careful note of what is written on page 10 before you even think of ordering this unhelpful guide:

"Be sure you have a copy of the Publication Manual (5th edition) before you begin to use the workbook."

Mastering APA Style is just a compilation of several multiple-choice tests that are supposed to help with mastering this style of writing. There are no rules and there are no helpful tips on researching and writing publications; it is entirely a book of examples. And each example points to a specific rule detailed in the Publication Manual, a different guide entirely!

Hopefully the Publication Manual succeeds at explaining what APA style really is, because this training guide doesn't. Unless you already know how to get around using APA, do not waste your money on this book.
