General Points to Remember in Writing Your Paper

Every paragraph should have an introductory sentence and a concluding sentence.

When reviewing evidence, you should introduce the evidence with a description of what you found, and then you should provide the data to support your introductory sentence.

There should be a smooth transition between each paragraph and each section of your paper. Headings may be helpful in making these smooth transitions. You must use APA heading styles.

Do not use the first person (I, we, etc.).

Have someone else read your paper for clarity and logical flow.

APA format is a requirement.
