I have a question on APA and a student question:
Over a week ago I posed the question and got no response:
this is a question from a student:
Do we think all the time that we are awake?
Now the APA style question--this is a matter of some controversy
between me and apparently other faculty in our department since
students tell me that they have learned to do things one way for
me and another for another person :-( since we both seem adamant
about what is correct, each in or own ways.
On the title page, where, going from top to bottom do we put the
title of the paper, the author's name and affiliation. I seem to
remember from somewhere that it is supposed to be "near the top"
but cannot find a reference for that in my manual.
My APA manual does say that it should be centered, but I believe
that means left to right, not top to bottom. According to my
students the other faculty member insists it means centered
top to bottom and right to left.
OK who is right and is there any rule and is there any evidence.
And for those who think all this rigidity re: APA style is silly
I have 2 replies:
(1) it never hurts to develop disciplined thinking
(2) it makes good fodder for harmless disagreements ;-)
