Double-spaced, typed, on standard size paper (8.5 x 11; portrait view in Word).
1-inch margins on all sides
Times New Roman in 12-point size
Justify left only, but paragraphs indented inch.
The title page is page 1 and numbering continues through to the last page of the document. Numbers are to be in the upper right-hand corner in the same font and size as the text.
Every page, beginning with the title page, is to have a running head, which is also the same font and size as the rest of the document. Note the running head is not the full title, just a shortened version.
Use only 1 space after all colons.
Title centered; should not exceed 12 words
Byline and affiliation – centered
Body of the Document
Title centered at the top of the page Regular font, not bold.
Introductory paragraph(s) this does NOT have a heading. It should begin with the topic/problem statement and 2 or 3 more sentences about it. Then the introduction should close with a brief overview as to the organization of the literature review based on the headings.
The first section after the introduction should have a level 1 heading (bold, centered, all important words begin with a capital)
Further subheadings should appear as follows:
Level 2 – Left-justified, bold, important words begin with a capital, the text begins on next line indented 1/2.
Level 3 – Indented , bold, only first word begins with a capital (exception for proper nouns), ends with a period, and the text begins on the same line. Best to do this manually rather than use the style setting.
Level 4 – Indented , bold, italicized, only first word begins with a capital (exception for proper nouns), ends with a period, and the text begins on the same line. Best to do this manually rather than use the style setting.
Level 5 – Indented , italicized, only first word begins with a capital (exception for proper nouns), ends with a period, and the text begins on the same line. Best to do this manually rather than use the style setting.
The body should close with a summary of the entire document, reviewing the main points in each section with numerous citations.
All entries should be in alphabetical order based on the first authors last name.
If you have more than one work by an author, order them by publication date, oldest to newest.
When an author appears both as a sole author and, in another reference as the first author of a group, list the one-author entries first.
If no author is given for a source, alphabetize using the title of the work, which will be listed in place of the author. However, if the title begins with The, A, or An, alphabetize it by the second word. For example, an article titled The Field Test of Research would be alphabetized by Field, and The should still be in the title.
Use a hanging indent for references (all lines after the first line of each entry in the list should be indented one-half inch from the left margin).
One space is used after all endmarks in the references.
Authors' names are inverted (last name first); give last name and initials for all authors of a particular work unless there are more than seven authors (see Purdue Owl or APA manual to review how more than seven authors should be done).
Use "&" instead of "and" when listing multiple authors of a single work. Always insert a comma before the ampersand (&) even if there are only two authors.
I am not quite sure what I am looking at. In addition, there are some errors throughout to include APA style formatting errors. I sent you an email concerning your outline, but you have not responded. Please ensure you are checking your APUS email account. Instructions for doing so may be found in the announcements that were posted at the beginning of the term.

20 points earned for grammar and spelling.
6 points were earned for the structure of your paper. Your research paper could use some work with regard to APA formatting. Your paper has slight errors within the paper. This can include small errors or omissions with the cover page, page number, and headers. There could be also slight formatting issues with the document spacing or the font
12 points earned for sources. You used credible scholarly sources including the text to give compelling evidence to support claims, but you did not give credit throughout the paper as you should have.
10 points earned for content. Rather than summarizing or restating a single piece of research, you were to critically analyze multiple peer-reviewed sources presenting the issue and history supported by those sources and discussing solutions based on those sources. This should be a synthesis of information in your own words and phrases with supporting citations throughout the entire paper from that research.
