TIPS
- Check anything APA at Purdue Online Writing Lab.
- APA is always double space, no more no less.
- The title page must have a header and page number. Center of title page has the title of the assignment, your name, and college name. NO MORE!
- Don’t forget the References page. If you list a reference, it must also appear as an in-text citation and visa versa. Never use the words “Works Cited” as your heading on the References page. Use the word “References”.
You should submit
- A word document containing your “leadership autobiography”.
- You must format your paper according to APA style. Not sure how? Review the information on APA style format in this course.
If you need assistance with APA style format, review the resources available in the Writing Resources area of the course (in the course menu on the left)
