Format your essay according to appropriate course-level APA guidelines. Use Times New Roman 12 point double spacing. Include a title page.
Support with APA citations and references. Include citations in the body of the paper. Include reference on a references page at the end of the paper. Remember that all direct quotations must have quotation marks plus citations. All ideas must have citations. This is regardless of whether the work is from course material or outside sources.
