Abstract
This template is a guide to writing a paper in APA Style, 6th edition; not for a systematic review proposal. It provides the necessary sections, headings, and subheadings required in a proposal, as well as the line and paragraph spacing, page breaks, page numbering, and referencing styles. It is formatted with one inch top, bottom, left, and right margins; Times New Roman font in 12 point; double-spaced; aligned flush left; and paragraphs indented 5-7 spaces. The page number appears one inch from the right edge on the first line of each page. There should be two spaces between sentences. Without changing the formatting, insert your own text into each template section. This section of the template provides an example of what an abstract would look like. An abstract is a brief (approximately 250 words) one-paragraph summary of the contents of the proposal. The abstract, typically written last, includes an overview of the proposed project's background and review of literature, purpose, method, results, and conclusion. It is non-evaluative, that is, does not contain personal comments. It is not indented nor does it contain citations. Keywords, such as those below, are words you used to perform database searches for the proposal. For more information about APA Style, see the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.), the APA Style web site found at http://www.apastyle.org, and the Purdue Owl Writing Center website found at http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/.
Keywords: APA style, sixth edition, publication manualIntroduction and Background
In this introductory section, write a few paragraphs that give an overview of your topic and background information. Tell why the study problem is important. Build a case for the need for the project that you propose to perform. Support this with findings from the literature, include relevant statistics, and cite them according to APA Style, 6th ed. As O'Leary (2010) says, "the main job of this section is "to ... convince your readers that the problem you want to address is significant and worth exploring" (p. 64).
All source material used in this proposal must be documented in the body of the paper by citing the authors and dates of the sources (See Appendix A for basic citation guidelines). The full reference to each citation must appear on a separate reference page(s) entitled 'References'. The reference pages at the end of this template provide examples of types of references frequently used in academic papers. Reference entries ar ...

MYTHIC UNIVERSITY ONLINE memo DATE August 9, 200.docx
MYTHIC UNIVERSITY ONLINE
memo
DATE : August 9, 2009
TO : Users of Style for Students Online
FROM : Joe Schall
SUBJECT : Writing Memos for your Classes
This memo provides you with tips on writing memos for your classes, with special
attention to a memo’s audience, format, organization, content, tone, and style. Because
my advice comes in the form of a memo, you can use this document as a model for
writing your own memos.
The Audience for a Memo
It is useful to begin by considering that a memo is essentially a one-on-one
communication between writer and reader. Although a memo may be written to a group
of people or with various audiences in mind, usually it is a highly goal-oriented
communication between two people who need to share information. When you write a
memo to a professor in the classroom setting, you are much like the employee who has
been assigned to investigate a problem and report back to a supervisor. Therefore, you
are expected to provide concrete information, even information that the supervisor
might already know, in a form that clarifies ideas and puts them into context. Finally, a
memo enjoys a broader context than an essay; hence, you might refer to other related
memos as you write, or you might respond to specific requests made by the audience in
your text, in effect, carrying on a professional conversation.
Typical Memo Format
The overall format of a memo can be broken down into the heading, the body, and the
closing notations. What follows is a brief description of each component.
The Heading
The heading has two parts: part one includes two centered lines at the top of page 1,
identifying the name of the company or institution on the first line, with the word
“memorandum” on the second line; part two includes the “DATE,” “TO,” “FROM,”
and “SUBJECT” lines at the left margin, filled in appropriately.
The Body
The body of the memo follows the Introduction, and it is usually presented in single-
spaced paragraphs with a line skipped between each paragraph. The first lines of new
paragraphs can appear at the left margin or they can be indented five spaces.
These pages were downloaded from Style for Students Online, available at https://www.e-education.psu.edu/styleforstudents/
2
The Closing Notations
The closing notations, used to identify such things as attachments, appear at the left
margin two lines below the text of the final paragraph. By simply typing the word
“Attachment” as a closing notation, you automatically refer the reader to any
attachment, such as a map, a set of calculations, spreadsheets, or a References page.
How Memos are Organized
The general organization of a memo mirrors that of an essay: an introduction, followed
by body paragraphs, followed by a conclusion. However, the first paragraph of a memo
is typically used as a forecasting device. Note how the opening paragraph of this memo
defines the memo’s function and reflects i ...

Reasons for Missing Data
Participant skipped item or questionnaire, purposely or inadvertently
Participant withdrew, became ill, or died
Had to omit all or part of the data collection
Poor directions or poorly worded question
Data missed during data entry
3
Categorizing Missing Data
Missing completely at random (MCAR)
Missing at random (MAR)
Missing not at random (MNAR)
4
Replacing Missing Data
Complete case analysis is when you drop any participant from the analysis when they have missing data
If a lot of participants are missing data it may negatively impact the results
5
Replacing Missing Data
Principles in handling missing data are:
Some missing data cannot be replaced
Imputation uses existing information to estimate the missing values
The easiest approach is to replace missing data with the group’s mean (average) on the item
6
Replacing Missing Data
Principles in handling missing data are:
A more justifiable approach is to use the average of the individual participant’s scores or ratings on the remaining items of a multi-item scale
Missing values may be estimated from values at previous time points
7
Replacing Missing Data
Principles in handling missing data are:
Incomplete cases (participants) may be deleted and the analysis may be done on those who completed the study
A regression imputation may be done to estimate the values of the missing data
8
Replacing Missing Data
Principles in handling missing data are:
Expectation maximization uses a series of iterations to reach convergence
Multiple imputation contrasts and combines replacement values to find the best estimates
9
Visual Representations
Stem and leaf illustrates distribution of values
Box plots illustrate distribution of values
Bar and pie charts demonstrate differences between groups and subgroups
Plots can show relationships between interval level variables
10
Basic Descriptive Statistics
Normal distribution is represented by a symmetrical bell-shaped curve
Positive skew has more cases at low end of values
Negative skew has more cases at high end of values
11
Basic Descriptive Statistics
Mode is the value that occurs most often
Median is the middle score in the distribution
Mean is the average of all scores
12
Basic Descriptive Statistics
Range is the distance between the highest and lowest scores
The range or distance between these endpoints can be divided into various portions

Abstract
If the assignment calls for an abstract, the page with the abstract is placed between the title page and the first page of the paper as is placed in this template. If an abstract is not required for the assignment, remove this page for your assignment. Note that the first sentence of the abstract is not indented as is otherwise required for the rest of the paper. Please consult the APA Seventh Edition Student Sample Paper for an example and explanation of what is expected in an abstract and its format.
Title of Paper
Start the paper here in paragraph format. Times New Roman 12-point font is preferred. Other sans serif or serif fonts such as 11-point Calibri, Arial, and Georgia, and 10-point Lucida Sans Unicode and Computer Modern may be used. The font selected must be used throughout the paper. Be sure to use one space after the period or question mark at the end of a sentence. All new paragraphs are indented. Double space the text throughout the paper with no extra spaces between paragraphs.
Headings
There are four types of headings that one may have within the body of a paper. Level 1 headings define the sections of the paper, are in bold title case, and are centered on the page. Use of this Template below is an example of a Level 1 heading. Note that there is not an introduction heading as the text after the paper’s title is considered the introduction. Level 1 headings may be defined by the assignment. As one example, level 1 headings may align with the assignment’s objectives with conclusions or recommendations being the last section, which aligns with what is expected with a formal report in a professional setting. An essay, on the other hand, may not expect level 1 headings as it requires a different style of writing.
Headings, above, is an example of a level 2 or second-level heading. Second-level headings are sub-sections. Please consult the APA Seventh Edition Student Sample Paper for examples and explanations about how to use and format second, third, and fourth-level headings as may be required for the assignment.
Use of this Template
The college’s recommendation is that you save two copies of this template at the beginning of each course as there may be enhancements to it. Keep one copy with the instructions for reference. Keep the other copy as the template for assignments but remove the text with instructions and leave the title page paper headers in place. The headers will be changed as each assignment is prepared. Please also consult the APA Seventh Edition Student Sample Paper for additional information and a more detailed example of the format of an APA Seventh Edition paper.

Chapter 11
Presenting Your Research
Research is complete only when the results are shared with the scientific community.
-American Psychological Association
Imagine that you have identified an interesting research question, reviewed the relevant literature, designed and conducted an empirical study, analyzed the data, and drawn your conclusions. There is still one more step in the process of conducting scientific research. It is time to add your research to the literature so that others can learn from it and build on it. Remember that science is a social process—a large-scale collaboration among many researchers distributed across space and time. For this reason, it could be argued that unless you make your research public in some form, you are not really engaged in science at all.
In this chapter, we look at how to present your research effectively. We begin with a discussion of American Psychological Association (APA) style—the primary approach to writing taken by researchers in psychology and related fields. Then we consider how to write an APA-style empirical research report. Finally, we look at some of the many other ways in which researchers present their work, including review and theoretical articles, theses and other student papers, and talks and posters at professional meetings.

What Is APA Style?
APA style is a set of guidelines for writing in psychology and related fields. These guidelines are set down in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA,
2006). [1] The Publication Manual originated in 1929 as a short journal article that provided basic
standards for preparing manuscripts to be submitted for publication (Bentley et al., 1929). [2] It was later expanded and published as a book by the association and is now in its sixth edition. The primary purpose of APA style is to facilitate scientific communication by promoting clarity of expression and by standardizing the organization and content of research articles and book chapters. It is easier to write about research when you know what information to present, the order in which to present it, and even the style in which to present it. Likewise, it is easier to read about research when it is presented in familiar and expected ways.
APA style is best thought of as a “genre” of writing that is appropriate for presenting the results of psychological research—especially in academic and professional contexts. It is not ...

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
