You do NOT need to follow strict APA guidelines (Headers, footers, etc.), but you must pinpoint precisely what you drew from your reference(s) to support the points you are making. In other words, you must clearly provide a link between the reference chosen and the idea you expressed within the body of your paper. The APA reference format allows for this and I want you to use it to link your reference(s) directly to your text. An example follows below.
Do NOT number pages, nor use a title page, abstract or Table of Contents. Do not use headers and footers or a running title and don’t place subtitles between sections of your paper.
The main things required of you are 1) write in complete sentences; no bullet point lists or sentence fragments. 2) Avoid an abbreviation unless you explain it to your reader the first time you use it. 3) Use proper punctuation and grammar – “Let’s eat, Grandma” and “Let’s eat Grandma” do NOT mean the same thing! Remember, you are not texting your BFF. Rather, you are writing a letter to the President of the United States – with references! 4) List your reference(s) under a “References” section at the end of the paper, alphabetized by the first author’s LAST name.
You must provide at least three (3) references in support of your paper. You may cite our textbook or any of the materials I have provided in the course. However, at least two of your references must be from sources in the literature that you have researched (not your textbook). You do NOT need a reference for each point you make but. provide at least three references as described above.
