5 Tips for Teaching APA Format
- What & Why? Provide context for the importance of citing sources and the utility of formats. Provide links to resources such as these APA Writing Tips from Belhaven’s The Adult Learner blog and APA Style Workshop from Purdue OWL.
- How? Use real world examples from the course discipline as well as the Belhaven Student Sample APA 7th ed. Paper below.
- When? Begin the course with review of APA & spend time before & after each essay with review
- To what extent? Provide feedback on smaller assignments early in the term, Include the Belhaven APA Student Sample as a guide in comment section.
- No need to correct every mistake! Incrementally raise the stakes.
5 Tips to Encourage Use of Writing Resources
- What & Where? Begin the course with an overview of what sources are available and where they are located
- How? Try out the resources so you are familiar with how they work
- When? Take time before each essay to remind students of the resources available.
- Peer sharing: Let the students do the talking! Invite students to share their experiences with their peers. Have a conversation early in the term and a follow up discussion after the first essay and ask for feedback.
- Make it easy! Create an announcement with active links early in the term. Link to resources in Canvas comments if a student is having common problems. Encourage and remind them these resources are included as part of their tuition!
