Do we need our Term paper topics approved?
Term Papers, I do not need to approve topics for the term papers as long as the topic comes from the textbook, however remember to avoid using the book for the term paper. You can use outside topics but they must relate to the course or field. The book is for the midterm exam and final exam mostly.
Things that need to be present in every APA paper and/or assignment:
Title Page (all double-spaced and centered)
Title of paper
Student’s name
School Name
Time spent on assignment
Running head needed (the words ‘Running head’ must be present as well… this is only on the Title Page though)
Page number of 1
Abstract (all double-spaced)
The word ‘Abstract’ should be centered on page
The first line of the Abstract is not indented or tabbed
Running head needed, however, the words ‘Running head’ should not be present

Must appropriately address short and long quotes
Must address all questions/issues from assignment/research paper instructions

Hanging indentions

Running head needed, however, the words ‘Running head’ should not be present
Appropriate page number

The title or partial title used for the Running head should be in all capital letters on every page
