Formatting
Paper must be written in APA format
Each chapter must begin with an introduction (no
heading necessary)
Chapters 1-3 must end with a summary (not a
conclusion)
Direct quotes must be enclosed in quotation
marks and you must include a page or paragraph number in your in-text citation
Do not
include page or paragraph numbers unless you are using a direct quote
Direct quotes of more than 40 words must be
formatted as a block quote. For block quotes only, the citation comes after the closing punctuation.
Avoid excessive use of direct quotes. It
visually clutters your paper and demonstrates less understanding and critical
thinking.
All paragraphs should be a minimum of three
sentences in length.
For works with more than two authors, only list
the first author’s name and use “et al.” – ex. Peterson et al. (2017)
If not date is available for a source use “n.d.”
It is not necessary or desirable for you cite
the same source in sentence after sentence. Cite your source at your first
usage, and it will be assumed that following statements are based on what you
learned from that source. A new citation would only be necessary if you start a
new paragraph or if you switch to information from a different source.
Language Skills
No 1st person (I, you, we, us, etc. –
use search function to make sure these words are not present)
No contractions (aren’t, won’t, can’t, they’ll,
etc.)
Use Oxford comma
Check comma usage, especially before
contractions connecting two independent clauses
Paragraphs should be a minimum of three
sentences in length
Use numerals for numbers 10 and above, unless
that number is starting the sentence. Spell out numbers less than 10.
References
Book titles should be in italics
Article titles are not italicized, but journal
titles are italicized
For book and article titles, only capitalize the
first word of the title, the first word of the subtitle, and proper nouns
For journal titles, use title case
Article citations should include volume #, issue
#, and page #s when applicable
