Writing a lot of final papers? Don't know how to reference a journal article correctly or cite more than one author? It's always good to understand how APA works. You use it daily in your education and professors expect you to have a solid understanding of it and use it correctly!
There are so many rules with APA...
--References
--Citations in text
--How to quote a source
--Rules for using parenthesis in a paper
--Levels of headings
--...and much, much more!
If you can't wrap your head around it, The Office of Academic Advising offers APA workshops - so stay tuned in the fall for more workshops. In the mean time you can view this tutorial on how to use APA style:

And don't forget - you can also ask a librarian! Visit the Bobst Library Ask a Librarian Page here: http://library.nyu.edu/ask/
Happy Writing!
