Grrr.
I am writing a research paper for school, and I have to write it in APA format, which is not the format I am accustomed to using. I haven't taken an english class in 4 years, and when I did, I was using the MLA method.
I'm just pissed because why does it MATTER if I don't know how to cite perfectly? Shouldn't I be graded on how well I know the material and how I present it? I understand they want to prevent plagiarism, but I can't imagine any instructor wanting to read a paper that has citations after every sentence... let alone 30 of them from my class.
