The only reason I persist in requiring this style (even for those I
suspect will not use it again) is because in just about any job I
can imagine in which employees have to do some kind of writing, SOME
kind of standardized format _will_ be required. The client will
want the documents that you prepare for him or her to be in a
particular format, or the discipline in which you find yourself
working will have some kind of conventional format, etc. (oops!;-))
I tell students that this is and will be the case, and that they
might as well get used to having to comply with a specific set of
formatting instructions.
Agreed--
That is why I'm very strict about students following _my_ format
(see http://www.mankato.msus.edu/dept/psych/LM0.html),
just not the APA silliness.
