This was an interesting article because educating my students with regard to APA format has always been a passion of mine. There seem to be so many variations, and just when one thinks they have it figure out, APA changes the rules! That being said, I could not completely review the manuscript without commenting on several APA errors noted within the document. After all, a paper on APA format should be APA format error free, right? Or perhaps it just proves the point that APA format is very difficult! First, there are several instances of the utilization of contractions in the paper. Contractions should be avoided in formal writing. Second, as Cheryl pointed out, the introduction should not be identified as such. It is the introduction by virtue of its location (APA manual 6th ed.; Ch 2, 2.05, p. 27). On page 7, Bruner is discussed. It is not clear in the beginning of the paragraph if you are discussing his work from his original sources or from a secondary source. This needs to be more clear. In addition, in that same paragraph, the direct quotes used need page numbers. On page 9, there should be no comma after "Alfien" on the second line (Alfien et al., date). Also on page 9, there should be no period prior to the close quotation mark where it states "...reach" (p. 129). Furthermore, that particular direct quote is more than 40 words and thus should be put in block quote format. On page 9, an apostrophe is also needed after "students" in the third line of the last paragraph. On page 10, the Froese et al. source is missing the "t" in "et". On pages 10 and 12, "for example" is used with a colon when a comma should be used. Finally, there are several errors in the reference list. For example, the Cauley (1986) source is incomplete as it is not clearly identified what type of source this is. A comma is needed after the D. in the Holton source. In the McDonald source, only the first word of the article title is capitalized (APA 6th ed.; Ch.6, 6.29). The Smith source requires a space between the initials G. E. Sorry to slam with so many APA issues, but as I indicated, a paper on APA format should be virtually error free in this regard! I also wasn't sure if the final page was indicative of a possible research study that you were going to conduct and just wasn't complete yet. Were you going to study these microthemes in a population of students? I was anticipating this as I read the end of your paper, but there was no specific tie-in. As an online instructor having read the paper, I'm not certain how I would utilize those scenarios to help students. This was not clearly explained. I'm also not convinced in the usefulness of these tools which is likely where testing these out as beneficial tools in some manner and sharing your results would be most helpful.
