Students interested in majoring in psychology or sociology should consider an associate membership (at reduced rates) to one of the professional organizations. For more information, see the home pages of the American Psychological Association (APA), the American Psychological Society (APS), Psi Chi (the psychology student honor's society), or the American Sociological Association (ASA), or ask your instructor.
The well-known "Peterson's Guide" to colleges and universities has an electronic version, which might be of some help. A good source of links can be found at Hugh Foley's site at Skidmore, and new to the web (as of 2001) is the Psychology Graduate Applicant's Portal.
If you would like to see or download a summary of the APA Publication Manual (showing reference formats, common abbreviations, how to number pages, as well as some grammatical rules and conventions of style), you're out of luck. However, you can try the old APA Crib sheet. (It's a little out of date since the recent publication of the 5th edition of APA's Publication Manual. The biggest single change that you need to be aware of is probably the return to "hanging indent" reference formats for showing all references - no more optional "manuscript" style with traditional paragraph indentations. In other words, all references should start with the author's name flush with the left margin and subsequent lines indented. Oh, and you can italicize instead of underlining.)
If you're really struggling with writing, perhaps one or another of the links found at the Refdesk site can aid you in some way, when it comes to general writing problems.
Getting back to the social sciences, if your problem is figuring out how to use APA style correctly, you might find help at any of the following: the Psychology with Style site, the Guide for Writing Research Papers based on American Psychological Association (APA) Documentation site, the similar (but for MLA) Guide for Writing Research Papers based on Modern Language Association (MLA) Documentation site, or the APA Style Essentials site. Similar help is available directly from the APA's library report guidelines, and their APA style FAQ (frequently asked questions). A quick run-down on how to show references for web pages (in APA style) is available at my electricite page.
A good general source for help in research and writing is a set of web pages at Cornell University on research skills. For writing help, see the Purdue Online Writing Lab, or if you are a UMUC student, use our own online writing center. For an online research methods book, see Statnotes. Additional information concerning reference formats can be found at at APA's own web references site. Whatever you do when writing, always avoid plagiarism. (A good aid for helping you identify plagiarism can be found at Paul Smith's site at Alverno College... well, my esteemed colleague Linda Wolfe's hosting of it anyway.)
There is also a Student Survival Guide for those who need a more general orientation to the college experience, and a study guide for those who just need some tips and reminders about studying in college. Another study skills sites can be found here.
