"This excellent and accessible text covers the most critical elements of writing standards in the psychological sciences. Examples and exercises contained in the text make it highly useful for undergraduates who need to become familiar with writing conventions in psychology."

"Dr. Szuchman is to be applauded for providing a well-developed set of materials that include both basic information-reinforcing problems and creative exercises that will be greeted with enthusiasm by my students."

About the Author
Dr. Lenore Szuchman is a developmental psychologist who earned her Ph.D. at Florida International University. As an undergraduate, Dr. Szuchman majored in comparative literature at Brandeis University, and then went on to receive an M.A. in special education from the University of Texas at Austin. Today, at Barry University, Dr. Szuchman teaches writing-intensive courses, specifically Experimental Psychology and Advanced Experimental Psychology, that help students make the transition from other types of college writing to the writing required of scientific psychologists. In her classes students conduct experiments, write APA-style manuscripts, and develop independent research proposals. Dr. Szuchman also advises on master theses and senior projects. Feedback from her students called attention to the need for the exercises in this book.

Customer Reviews

Has this author heard of examples?
This book is for someone who has never written a paper and has the time to complete the book as a workbook. Unfortunately, this did not apply to me. I have written many papers but have always used MLA style. I know how to write a paper and only wanted help with the format. What I really needed to see was examples of how to cite a journal, a book, a newspaper article, ect. and this author only gives a description.

book
the book was in good conditions brand new and all. and at a good price

Not what I wanted
This book is not very thorough in providing information for APA. I had to purchase a different book that included step by step information about citations. I need examples and this book did not do the trick.
