blueidealist24 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Google The OWL at Purdue. It has good guides for every type of referencing style. Link to comment
ButterflyWrists Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Thank you guys!! I shall use the reference builder.. its only this one lecturer who wants APA.. *breathes* Blue, I would rep you, because that is helpful, but alas I need to spread the love lol Link to comment
Moontiger Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Just a caution, the machine isn't always correct so its good to check over what it spits out. Usually pretty reliable though. Link to comment
ButterflyWrists Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 well I have no idea how they're supposed to look xD so my lecturer will have to deal with it lol.. her own fault for demanding APA when for everything else we use harvard.. but I will try and double check it before printing, exam isnt until 2pm (UK time) Link to comment
Gilson Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Always had trouble with this. Seemed every other reference just didn't fit. I did my best with it and never had any problems. Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Google The OWL at Purdue. It has good guides for every type of referencing style. This will help you with how it's suppose to look. Also try link removed. You can pick what type of format you need - MLA, APA, etc - and type in all the information and it spits out how it's suppose to look. However when copying from that you may have to go back and like re-italize something. Link to comment
Snny Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Never mind... missed the post. Delete me. Link to comment
Fudgie Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Yeah I've never written a whole citation in college ever. I always used online converters and then double checked when I was done. It's so easy. Link to comment
diamond78 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 If you have Microsoft Word you can go to the References tab, put in your sources, choose APA format style and it will format it for you right onto the Word Document. I wish they had this when I was in school.... Link to comment

I wish they had this when I was in school.... Wow, they have that?! I've had Word for a long time and I didn't know! Link to comment
OptomisticGirl Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Wow, they have that?! I've had Word for a long time and I didn't know! Yep. You still have to check it though to make sure it's formatted right. I only ever used it when learning it in my computer class - just easier for me to use noodletools. Link to comment
ButterflyWrists Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Thanks for the tips everyone! Reference lists made Good luck to anyone else with exams! and I hope others find this thread useful haha.. Link to comment
diamond78 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Wow, they have that?! I've had Word for a long time and I didn't know! Yep, Microsoft Word 2007 and higher can do this. You'd be amazed what Word can actually do as far creating a research paper/book/etc...table of contents, footnotes, citations, bibiliographies, indexes, and a lot more. I had to learn all the Microsoft features because I teach Microsoft certification classes for my job. Link to comment
