Demystifying writing

 

Capella’s writing center offers many tools to help writers in all stages of the process, from generating ideas to polishing small details in a final draft.  As all Schools at Capella write in APA format, the Writing Center has resources to help the writer compose in APA format. 

 

It can be so easy to see APA as little more than a method for putting in internal citations that link to a reference page, but the editorial style can really provide much more. 

 

For specific example, the five levels of headings is a great tool to use when organizing writing during the outlining stages. 

 

To learn more about using APA as more than a citation tool, go to www.capellawritingcenter.org  Under “Jump To,” click on “APA Style & Formatting”

 

For more details on composing an annotated bibliography in APA editorial style, click on “annotated bibliography” 

 

These resources can help to take the mystery out of APA.
