APA Format Term Paper: Great Example

All term papers are not created equally, some are clearly better than others. The content of the paper is the most important part of the term paper, if the student focuses on that and creates a great paper, then they only have to worry about how the papers is formatted.

The American Psychological Association (APA) format is a great way to format the term paper, if given the choice, a student should choose APA.  There are clear cut rules and the design layout makes it so that the student has a perfectly laid out design and they only have to place their information into it.  

There are several places to find a great example of the format of APA.  One place is Purdue University Online Writing Lab page. The OWL page from Purdue has a lot of research and example of the format, and they explain the rules of the APA style in case the student doesn’t have a handbook.   

Format guidelines with Examples

• When it come to the APA formatting the first thing that the student will do is create the header.  The header will have their name and the page number. See below for an example.
• The student then needs to have a title page.  This page will hold all the vital information of the text.  The title of the paper, the name of the writer, and then the school it is associated with.  This page will have the header, and should be centered on the page, about six paragraph spaces from the header.  
• Next will be the abstract.  This is a maximum of 250 words that will briefly summarize the paper.  
• The body of the paper should begin on the next page, it should include the header and on the first line after the double space the term paper should begin.
• Then the last part of the paper will be the reference page.  This should list all resources used in alphabetical order by the last name of the resource.
