be 12-pt. Times Roman or 12-pt. Courier in regular black type. Do not use color, bold type, or italics except as required for APA level headings and references. The

academic citations to support your decisions and analysis are required. A variety

of academic sources is encouraged.

Reference page: References that align with your in-text academic sources are listed on the final page of your paper. The references must be in APA format using

appropriate spacing, hang indention, italics, and upper- and lower-case usage as appropriate for the type of resource used. Remember, the reference page is not a

bibliography, but it is a further listing of the abbreviated in-text citations used in the paper. Every referenced item must have a corresponding in-text citation.
