I assigned Writing with Style as a recommended rather than a required book for my level research methods course last fall.

The students were all juniors and seniors, some of whom were in their first research methods course, others of whom were in their second or third one. Chapters were assigned at relevant points during the progression of the first lab report. I did not make the exercises assignments, but instead explained why I thought it would be useful for students to do them as they read journal articles throughout the semester. At the conclusion of the semester, I asked students to evaluate the Szuchman text.

I agree with the student who suggested that psychology majors should get this book when they declare their major because it is helpful in developing a scientific voice. That said, even advanced students who are familiar with the APA manual can benefit from the first two chapters, particularly the section on plagiarism, as well as the reminder boxes in each chapter.

However, even if the book is assigned as an optional text and a student only skims through it, the reminder boxes alone contain useful information. Overall, Writing With Style is an easy read.
