1. Length and elements: Your response should be 5-7 pages, double spaced and typed (not
including your references page). Font should be Times New Roman; 12 pt. Margins should be no
wider than 1″. Please number your pages.
2. Number of references: Your response should include a minimum of 10 credible sources (though
you will likely have more). Appropriate sources include research and/or scholarly articles from
peer reviewed, scientific journals, and/or books (but not encyclopedias or textbooks). For each
response, you may also include publications from government or organization sources. You will
cite your sources according to APA format. You will be using “in-text citations” that correlate
with your references page. Here is a helpful guide to APA format from Purdue OWL.
