Discussion: APA Discussion 1Mastering APA style often presents a challenge to those
unaccustomed to academic writing. However, there are several reasons
why perfecting APA style is an essential part of academic scholarship.
At the most practical level, APA writing conventions provide a common
standardized language for sharing work with others. Others can easily
read and understand work presented in APA style and can quickly identify
the resources used to complete the work. An APA citation enables
scholars to meet their ethical obligation to give other authors proper
credit for their work. However, mastery of APA goes beyond practical or
even ethical concerns. Proper use of a format widely accepted as a
standard for scholarly publication, such as APA style, can serve as a
signal to other scholars and researchers that you apply a degree of
precision in your writing and research. Using APA style helps scholars
to be practical, ethical, and credible.To prepare:Reflect on your performance on APA Quiz 1.By Day 3Post an explanation of new insights
