Abstract
Graduate students often struggle with learning how to write in
APA format. One of the best ways to learn APA format is to
seek assistance from university writing centers. This study
examined the improvement in writing exhibited by a sample of
one hundred students in a graduate writing course. Fifty
students relied on “self-taught” APA format resources provided
by the university and fifty students received assistance from the
university writing center. The students receiving assistance
from the writing center made 25% fewer errors on the exit essay
than the group using only the “self-taught” resources. The
results indicate that university writing centers can be more
helpful in learning APA format than relying on “self-taught”
resources.
Annotated Bibliography
An annotated bibliography is a collection of a minimum of 10
one-paragraph summaries of the 10 sources you intend to use in
the final paper. The sources must be current or dated within the
past 10 years. The ability to use resources older than 10 years is
left to the discretion of the instructor. At least 50% of these
sources need to be from empirical journal articles.

the findings of research that was included in the article. Do not
simply say the authors conducted a study without providing a
summary of the findings.
The annotations include the full current APA-formatted
citations of the source, and the annotations are listed in
alphabetical order based on the first author’s last name. The
assignment must include a title page in current APA format.
Example:
Grice, R. (2011). The value of university writing centers.

University writing centers can be very helpful in learning APA
format. Grice found in a study of 100 graduate students in a
graduate-level writing course that those receiving assistance
from the university writing center demonstrated marked
improvement by reducing errors by 25% in comparison to the
“self-taught” group. The author concludes that university
writing centers can be very helpful to graduate students.
Requirements:
1. Include a current APA-formatted title page with all of the
required components.
2. List the annotations in alphabetical order according to the
first author’s last name.
3. All sources must be from academic and peer-reviewed
