This is an online textbook freely accessible to TAMU-C students; therefore, no hardcopies are requested to be stocked by the university bookstores. However; it has been the experience of many students that there is an advantage to having a hardcopy of the text in hand for use during quizzes and other assignments.

If you desire to purchase a hardcopy, you may...

...buy the book directly from publisher, Greenwood Publishing Group ($58.00 new, OUT of stock as of Jan 11, 2008)

...buy the book from Amazon ($58.00 new, some used may be available, OUT of stock as of Jan. 11, 2008)

...buy the book from Barnes & Noble ($58.00 new, some used may be available, OUT of new stock as of Jan. 11, 2008)

...or buy the book from any one of a variety of on-line sources.

   Publication manual of the American Psychological Association. (5th ed.). (2001). Washington, DC: American Psychological Association.
   ISBN:  1-55798-791-2  (paperback)

The APA manual is available from practically any booksource. As a graduate student you most likely already have this book unless you are relatively new in your program.  If you don't have it, get it now.  If you're in a Doctoral program and don't have it already, shame on you.  ;-)  You can't write a dissertation without it!

This is a "Web-Based" course.
