This AP Boot camp was extremely helpful. I get so confused sometimes and end up flipping through the Stylebook for what seems like forever trying to find the simplest things. I think that flagging my book will be really helpful I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before. Usually I just try to jot down notes to the side or on a spare sheet of paper to help me remember where things are but I think your method may be better. In my journalism class I had the hardest time with AP style but I know that I have to master it to work in the PR field. I think this boot camp might just do the trick.
This book is a great resource tool, and the boot camp made using it a lot easier! Using this tool cleared up questions and grammatical errors I had prior to this class. Prof. Nixon, you are a beast at technology. I’m still a little slow to it, but I’m getting there.
