Write a fully developed and detailed APA essay addressing each of the following points/questions. There is no required word count; be sure to completely answer all the questions in detail. Separate each section in your paper with a clear heading that allows your professor to know which bullet you are addressing in that section of your paper. Support your ideas with at least one source using citations in your essay. Make sure to cite using the APA writing style for the essay. The cover page and reference page are required. Review the rubric criteria for this assignment. NOTE : APA: I don’t take points off for APA for the first assignment because I like to provide feedback on the first paper. Everything looks ok except you need to double-space throughout. There is extra spacing between sections. Also, start transitioning to APA 7th edition format (this is per Aspen policy). A good resource is the APA 7th edition manual or apastyle.apa.org.
