Ten theses were analyzed and six students were interviewed.

Other errors were incorrect used of comma, error in page number and error in writing the name of author. While in reference list, the most significant error were using non-APA style and inverted indentation, followed by error in capitalization, italic, writing surname, using full-stop, and writing volume and issue number.
