Hi slaterjack! I'm sorry you're going through a tough time. Thanks for taking a moment to stop in and let us know about your experience with the program. Being forced to use Google Docs sounds awful, and also like it could potentially present accessibility issues for some. Google Docs is also terrible for formatting, I've found -- I use a custom template for all my APA assignments that I've tried in the past importing to Google Docs, but Google Docs doesn't allow the same level of detail when it comes to headings, fields, etc., so I end up having to do a bunch of manual formatting anyway. The AI thing would also drive me crazy and would feel a little insulting at the master's level, although I guess I understand why they require it. Although at the master's level, it feels like focusing on research skills would be a better use of time.
