Hello

The instructor requested students to submit pdf or .doc assignments. The assignments instruct students to follow APA formatting. They get scores deducted if they do not.

The instructor sees some inconsistency in the APA format, with a fraction of students in Speedgrader view. For example, the page numbers are swapped, and the reference section is moved to different pages. However, when downloading the submissions, the formatting matches the required APA style.

What could be causing this?

She teaches a large class and would like to use the speed grader view to grade students' work as it is more efficient than downloading each student's submission.

Could you please share some insight into how to resolve this?

Thanks,
