\nFormat:
\nAs described in class, you must follow APA format for a manuscript. For this assignment, be sure to use 12pt Times New Roman font, ensure that you use double line spacing. 1-inch margins from every side. Do not forget to use indentation (\u201cTab\u201d when starting a new paragraph).
\nUse Grammarly (or whatever else you use) to check for grammar and punctuation before submission. After using Grammarly, carefully proofread your paper yourself to catch any remaining errors or inconsistencies. Pay attention to sentence structure, clarity of expression, and overall coherence.
\nNumber all pages consecutively, beginning with the Abstract page (in the upper right-hand corner) and running headers in the upper left-hand corner. Maintain a formal tone and use clear, concise language throughout your paper. Avoid slang, jargon, and colloquialisms.
\nUse full-words rather than contractions. For example, instead of using \u201cI\u2019m\u201d or \u201cdon\u2019t\u201d, spell out the words fully as \u201cI am\u201d and \u201cdo not\u201d. This helps to maintain a formal tone and enhances clarity and professionalism in the writing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
