Task 6: You are responsible for APA only for in-text citations and a reference list. However, all source material must be cited and referenced.
Task 7: You are expected to use the facts from the case scenario paired with the weekly courses readings to develop the analysis and support the reasoning. No more than three external resources can be used in completing the assignment. The expectation is that you provide a robust use of the course readings. If any material is used from a source document, it must be cited and referenced. A reference within a reference list cannot exist without an associated in-text citation and vice versa. View the sample APA paper under Week 1 content.
Step 2: How to Set Up the Paper
Task 1: Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) document that is double-spaced, 12-point font. The final product will be between 3-4 pages in length excluding the title page and reference page. You may not exceed four pages so it is important to write clearly and concisely.
Task 2: Use the following format with headings:
