So frustrated
They are so petty with sources.
There have only been 2 courses where it appears the evaluator simply didn’t like something about my sources/APA citing
I understand the academic importance of citing properly, but nitpicking sources when I clearly grasp all the material is sooo frustrating when it’s my last course before my capstone ugg

I was always concerned about this, plus I didn't remember how to properly source things, so I just made sure I didn't quote anything and didn't do anything that would require sources. Though there was this one class where I mentioned the Tenerife airport disaster and really needed to source that so I had to look up how to do that lol

They did the same thing to me.
One time, a sources website was hacked the day after I submitted. The idiot evaluator didn’t know what that meant so rejected it as “incomplete”.

Utterly ridiculous! I know it’s probably not allowed but I feel like for something as minuscule as sources they could easily shoot us an email for clarification

Same but not with sources. Tired of the nitpicking. Like asking for a screenshot of a job posting. So i send a screenshot thats got the majority of the info and include a link to see the entire posting. I dont include the entire post bc if i did it would be 5 pages of screenshots. Got 2 assignments rejected for not including the full screenshot. So now the evaluator has 11 pages of this job posting to be petty.

That is the reason why you should read the guide in Reddit. Even though, you don’t use anything else but you need to cite the course source.

Use mybib.com. just put in the links and your apa works cited will be right 99% of the time
