I am amazed at the specificity many seem to be looking for.  I find that our students 
simply have to be reminded of what should go in what section of their report or paper. 
 The writing is generally weak, but I have time in the lab class only to cover major 
mistakes and apa deviations.  When they describe something as statistically 
significant with p >  .05 then I tend to use a lot of red ink. The students are 
grumbling now because our lab class is only one credit and they did not expect to be 
doing so much (they have two lab reports).  I did have an alumnus who dropped by a few 
weeks ago to thank me for being picky about writing up her results sections.  She is 
now in grad school and most of the psych students do not know apa format?? so she 
feels she is ahead of the game.  And so it goes...
