Academic Writing Workshop
It was appropriate and helpful to take this class, because it allowed me to learn or re-learn the APA writing style. The class offered access to various writing resources, and served as a support to the main class, Instructional Design. I feel like my writing and research skills have improved.
Here is a useful website that covers a broad range of topics on APA style.
