For the final paper, increase the in-text citation and references; the use of statistics and “disposal” information should be strengthened.

APA format uses headings. This practice is intended to keep your content focused, as well as lead the reader through your thoughts. I SHARE A TRICK WITH YOU…… As you move towards the final paper submission, consider how you can use the final project rubric in your classes to create the headings! The APA format is a simple outline, with specific style elements for each of five levels. Most often only the level 1 & 2 headings are needed. I expect to see this for articulation scoring — and it helps to ensure you’ve met each rubric element in a recognizable way!
Here’s a formatted example to illustrate (not from this course):
APA Student Sample Paper
I’ve delineated the final paper sections for you below; compare this format to the elements listed in the final project rubric. Then, look for the content in each of your milestones (the instructions are in outline format) and you can plug into the appropriate section heading! The sections you’d written for Milestone Two are shown in color below (and those above it were written in Milestone One). Email if you have any questions!
