APA Reflection

Improved Essays
This course has been very rewarding; I came into this course not knowing anything about APA format, had poor writing skills, and very little knowledge on courage, caring, and team building. Now at the end of the semester after taking this course I am confident in APA format and I have learned so much about courage, caring, and team building. Being a pre-nursing student this course is very rewarding because you get to see how courage, caring, and team building play a huge role in nursing. I think reading the two books was what I enjoyed most about this course. I learned so much about caring and courage in real life situations while I was reading the two books. I also enjoyed having small groups for open discussion because I was able to see other

This course also taught me how to be more flexible. Having a full-time job working 40 or more hours a week plus school; it was hard and still is, but having flexibility when I become a Mental Health Counselor will help me because I must be flexible to meet the client needs so we can establish a client/counselor relationship and maintain that relationship.

    Learning different modes of writing and putting them into practice will allow me to be able to approach different subjects with an appropriate style. Although I had learned to use only academically credible sources before, I had become too lax and this class put me back on the right track of being aware. I have only done papers in APA format for the past two years, so this class was a nice refresher on MLA format. I think it’s important to be fluent in both; while in college you never know if different teachers will require a different format than others. Beyond improving my writing ability, this class achieved its critical thinking development goal as well.…

Throughout this class, I have learned so much about the aspects of the community health, agencies, drug abuse, health rates, and disease types and control.
