Question

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

Explanation:

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

• Bolded headings: In APA format, headings at certain levels (e.g., level 1, level 2) are bolded, so this is a required element.
• Double spacing: APA - style papers require the text to be double - spaced throughout the document, so this is a required element.
• Bullet points: APA allows the use of bullet points for lists (e.g., in the methods section or for presenting information in a list format), so this is a required element.
• Title page: A title page is mandatory in an APA - style paper. It includes the title of the paper, the author's name, and the institutional affiliation.
• 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 formatting (including professional papers), but for the context of student papers, this is not a required element.
• Page numbers: Page numbers are required in an APA - style paper, usually in the top - right corner of each page.
