According to Graves (2013), each task that is turned in should include a cover page as shown above. The cover page needs to include: course name; title; your name; and the date the task is due. The cover page should be an entirely separate page from the rest of the document and shall precede the body.

The body of the document needs to be double-spaced. Please use either Times New Roman or Arial font (use only one font in the entire document) that is 12 in size. Each paragraph should be indented and include at a minimum four sentences unless directed differently. The margins should be one (1”) inch on all sides of the document.

“The body of the text needs to be set up in the following manner: introduction; body; and conclusion” (Graves, 2013, p. 5). Unlike a research paper, I am only expecting these three components. The introduction should be a statement about what you are planning to tell the reader. The body is the place where you inform the reader the details about your subject. The conclusion is used to summary the main points you stated in the body of the document.

A reference page should be the last page in the document. Just like the cover page and body, you should use a page break in order to define the pages. An example of a reference is included on the reference page and if it was used properly, it could appear here (Graves & Graves, 2013). Please refer the document in the instructor files that is labeled APA Information.pdf for more details. If a reference is used I expect you to use proper APA formatting and rules.

Please note references need to be on a separate page. The word Reference needs to be centered at the top of the page, with the references below as shown.
