part 4: apa formatting check
instructions: circle the elements below that are required in an apa-style paper.
bolded headings
double spacing
bullet points
title page
running head (for students)
page numbers
colored fonts
reference list

Explanation:

To determine the required elements in an APA - style paper:

• Bolded headings: APA does not require headings to be bolded in all cases (e.g., level 1 headings are centered, bold, etc., but not all headings follow a simple bold rule, and it's not a universal "required" element in the same way as others here).
• Double spacing: APA requires the entire paper to be double - spaced.
• Bullet points: Bullet points can be used in APA papers for lists, but they are not a core "required" structural element like some others.
• Title page: An APA - style paper must have a title page.
• Running head (for students): For student papers, a running head is no longer required in the 7th edition of APA; however, if we consider general APA (including professional papers), but the option specifies "for students", so it's not required for students.
• Page numbers: APA - style papers must have page numbers.
• Colored fonts: APA does not require colored fonts; in fact, it recommends using a standard, readable font (usually black).
• Reference list: An APA - style paper must have a reference list to cite sources.

So the required elements are Double spacing, Title page, Page numbers, Reference list.
