On my honor as a University of South Carolina Aiken student, I have completed my work according to the principle of Academic Integrity. I have neither given nor received any unauthorized aid on this assignment/examination.
Title of Paper (Bold)
Start typing here. Note the 0.5 inch indent at the beginning of all new paragraphs. Everything is double-spaced throughout the paper except for the Honor Code. All student papers use Times New Roman 12 point font. Margins are 1 inch. Make sure that you are able to view the ruler on your document by clicking on the View tab in the Word ribbon. Check the ruler box if it is not already selected.
Please note that no padding or extra space is added before or after each paragraph. The last check performed on any APA document should be: Ctrl + a/Command + a to select all text in the document, then check the line spacing dropdown menu to determine if extra space is present before or after paragraphs (see Figure 1). Mac users will need to scroll down to the line spacing option to check.
Level 1 Heading (bold)
Use a level 1 heading to introduce new, big ideas. Level 1 headings are bold and centered. Be sure to check the ruler to make sure that the heading itself is not indented.
Level 2 Heading (bold)
A level 2 heading helps the reader (and you) organize the paper into smaller bites. The level 2 heading is not indented, so be sure to adjust the carrot on the ruler.
Level 2 Heading (bold)
Level 2 headings are bolded, but ideas below them are not. Remember that the text below level 2 headings needs to be indented 0.5 inch.
References (bold)
References start on a brand new page. To help with this, a page break was inserted at the end of the previous page. The title of the page is bold and centered because it is a level 1 heading. Note that individual references have a 0.5 inch hanging indent. Be sure to check your APA manual for how to list different types of references. Some examples are provided below. The list should be alphabetized.
