Default Need Help APA Paper...

Well I need to do an APA paper for Psychology and the teacher is not too helpful. I have read about it but am still alittle confused so I was wondering if someone has a good paper I can use as an example that they could email me and I can use it like a model. I am not very good with writing. This is due March 26th so I need to get this asap. Also if it helps I am doing my paper on What makes a Serial Killer if that helps so you know what kind of format I am looking at doing. Thanks

Earn your mark the old fashioned way....not with a handout. Hit the library....hit the books. I am sick of seeing kids beg and grovel for papers here.

What are you going to do when you graduate to the real world and your boss asks you to complete a project? Come to the boards? The time you typed this out here could have been used to do a search in the library for your topic, or are you out in some bar drinking right now for St. Patty's?

These words are harsh, but its for your own good. And for anyone that helps the OP you are implicit in the dumbing down of America.

FFS! I think what the OP is doing is alright. . . he's asking for an example of a model APA paper.

That said, isn't there a style guide Wiki or something?

Like GPMike said, don't use someone else's paper. Think for yourself, use those search engines!

Here's one source, now get busy!

Why would I use someone elses paper and get an F because of plagiarism? I am not trying to be harsh either but your post is of no help to me. I have been out of school for awhile and have never done an APA paper. I have seen a few stupid examples but I want an APA paper that is real. I don't care if it is about shitting bricks. I just want something that is a good paper so I can get a feel for how they should be done. I don't expect you to understand but people learn how to do things different ways. Like I have stated I have already decided on my topic.

Ah, the irony!

Anyone here who helps OP will be explicit in their complicity in the dumbing down of America.
