APA

I thought I was fairly knowledgeable about APA format but I found out today I have a lot to learn. After this semester I will need to complete three classes to get my degree and up to this point no one has ever questioned the way I cited sources. I also found it interesting that different colleges expect different citation rules followed and just because this is the expectation at WIU the expectations might be different at another University. While I feel that citing sources is important, today’s discussion makes me question how important some rules are or are not. Is it truly important that in a given citation the proper number is italicized or should we spend our time on other tasks? Personally, I am not sure. I see relevance two both sides of the discussion.
