Abstract
The abstract is written in block format, meaning that the start of the paragraph is not indented. It begins on the next line following the Abstract heading and should not be more than 250 words. As an undergraduate, it is suggested that you verify the length of the abstract with your instructor (it is usually a FULL paragraph), but a graduate student must adhere to the 120 to 250 word abstract. The Abstract heading should NOT be in bold. All numbers in an abstract should be typed as digits and not as words unless they are at the beginning of a sentence. The abstract is a one-paragraph summary of the most important elements of the paper. This is an example of what an abstract looks like in a paper. Remember, it takes a minimum of 5 sentences to make a paragraph.
Title of Paper
The title of the paper is centered on the first line of the third page and is in uppercase and lowercase letters. Do not italicize the title, bold it, or put it in quotes. The introductory paragraph begins on the line following the title of the paper. The entire paper, including the title page, abstract, body, and references, should be double-spaced. The before/after spacing should be set on zero and the margins should be one inch.
In order to give proper credit to the ideas and words of others, any outside sources used in the body of the paper must be documented by citing the author(s) and copyright date of the source(s). This is called a citation. Each citation must have a corresponding full source reference on the references page that follows the body of the paper. As noted by Stevens (2008), a signal phrase “signals to the reader that either a direct quote or a paraphrase is about to follow” (p.43). This is an in-text citation. As in this example, when the name of the author is part of the sentence, the year of the publication appears in parentheses directly following the author’s name, e.g., Stevens (2008). When the author of a source is not mentioned in the sentence, both the author and year of publication appear in parentheses (Stevens, 2008). This is a parenthetical citation. If a work has two authors, both authors are cited in each citation to that source. For a citation of a source with two authors, use the last names of both authors separated by an ampersand (&). When no author is listed, use the title. If the title is extremely long, one may shorten it to the first 4 words of the title and place them in quotation marks. If the headings are too long to use in your in-text citation use a shortened version in quotation marks like this: (Lorraine, 2009, “Stock market trends,” para. 56). When there isn’t any publication date is listed, use the abbreviation n.d., which stands for no date. When a direct quote is taken from a source with page numbers, such as a book, magazine, or newspaper, include the page n.

Paper Assignment Topic Please use the following prompt to .docxbunyansaturnina
Paper Assignment Topic
Please use the following prompt to guide your paper. Papers must be a minimum of 4 pages and
about 2700 words in length. You should incorporate terms and concepts that are covered in the book.
The point of this assignment is to incorporate what you learned in the class with experiences you have
outside of class. This assignment is due by June 11th by 11:59pm on Blackboard. Please see the
syllabus for formatting requirements.
Writing Prompt: Travel to a place that has a culture that is unfamiliar to you. This may be a religious
place (church, mosque, temple, etc.), a cultural area (a cultural museum, park, gathering, festival, etc.),
or you may seek out a group of people that share a cultural background that is unfamiliar to you (a
student club on campus). Before you go, pick a topic from the reading that is interesting to you
(motivation, emotion, development, etc.). Meet and speak with people there and learn about them and
their culture so that you can learn firsthand about the differences between your own culture and theirs.
Your task is to write about what it would be like for you to become a part of this culture. What would be
easy? What would be difficult? Would you be accepted by this group or is your way of life too different?
What benefits would you have from joining this group? What would you lose? Make sure to incorporate
how the topic you picked from the reading related to your new experiences.

Title of Paper Repeated Exactly As It Appears On Title Page
This template was developed by Paul Rose of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. To make the template more practical for typical class papers, we have made minor alterations to Dr. Rose’s template (e.g., omitting Author Note, Abstract sections). If submitting a paper for publication, use Dr. Rose’s full template, which is available for free download at www.siue.edu/~prose/classes/APAFormatTemplate.doc
To use this template, begin the body of your paper (your introduction) as the first paragraph beneath the title. Note that APA does not use the Introduction header: just plunge in. Add your text and delete the placeholder text used in the template. The rest of the text in this template provides hints about properly generating all the parts of your APA-formatted paper.
APA style specifies that major components of the paper (abstract, body, references, etc.) each begin on a new page with the heading centered at the top of the page. The body of the text is typically divided into sections with headings such as Method, Results, and Discussion. For an example of a paper properly forma.

A Sample Paper for the Purpose of Correct Formatting
Student Name
Liberty University
Per the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA; 6th edition), double-space the
entire paper (p. 229), except with charts or tables. Do not add any extra spacing. Use Times New Roman,
12-point font. Do not use bold except for headings as necessary (see page 62 of your APA manual).
Margins are set for 1" on top, bottom, and sides. All page references will be to the APA manual, 6th edition.
Add two spaces after punctuation at the end of each sentence, except in the reference list, for the sake of
readability (pp. 87-88). The header on the cover page is different from the headers on the rest of the paper.
Only the cover page header includes the words Running head (without the italics; p. 41). The header is flush
left but the page numbers are flush right (see bottom of p. 229). Make sure the header font is the same as the
rest of the paper. Handouts on how to format the cover page (as well as other handouts) are available on the
Online Writing Center’s webpage: http://www.liberty.edu/index.cfm?PID=17176, and a superb YouTube
video demonstration that provides visualized step-by-step instructions for setting a paper up in proper APA
format is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUjhwGmhDrI
Note: Comments inside boxes are not part of the formatting of the paper. Section or page number references
to the APA manual are denoted in parentheses throughout. Most citations within the body of this paper are
fictional, for instructional purposes only, but are also included in the reference list for illustrative purposes of
correlating citations in the body of the paper with resources in the reference list.
. Note: Center the following information in the top half of the page: title, your name, and school name (2.01, p.
23; 41). Some professors require the course title and section, the instructor’s name, and the date; add those on
the lines beneath the required title page information. Do not use contractions in formal papers—in either the
title or the body of the paper (i.e., use “do not” rather than “don’t”). Titles should include no more than 12
words. Titles use upper and lowercase letters (i.e., “title case;” 20.1, p. 23; see also 4.15 on pp. 101-102).

SAMPLE PAPER 2
Abstract
Begin your abstract at the left margin (2.04 on p. 27; see also p. 229). This is the only paragraph
that should not be indented. Unless otherwise instructed, APA recommends an abstract be
between 150–250 words (p. 27). It should not contain any citations or direct quotes. This should
be a tight, concise summary of the main points in your paper, not a step-by-step of what you plan

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
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.
