A few things to help you towards ensuring the follow the APA 6th ed. format (not all inclusive)

1. Use appropriate coverage (See a paper format example in the Student Center).

2. Ensure professor name and date is included on the coverage.

3. Do not include abstract.

4. Within the document opening include a brief introduction so the reader knows the direction you are planning to take in the paper (write as if the reader does not
know what you are talking about, so make it clear) (Note: the word Introduction is not needed for a heading)

5. Utilize appropriate level headings/subheadings that follow the required guidance in the assignment requirements (For this course use the assignment directions as
your headings. See paper format in the Student Center).

6. Do not use color or graphics in your paper.

7. Include a conclusion to pull it all together.

8. Utilize scholarly/peer-reviewed sources to lend depth and validity to what is being shared. (Just going to the Internet and selecting urls does not mean they are
such and lend validity to your work.) The library database is available to you and is to be used in your research efforts. When you use the Strayer library be sure to
click on the “peer-reviewed” button to get results that meet the criteria.

9. Because you are using the Internet to pull up articles in the Strayer Database you will see a web address at the top of the search. However, do not use the web
address as your source. Your source should be cited in the format in the paper example in the Student Center.
