You will be graded using the following categories: content, organization, grammar and style conventions, resources,

references, and APA formatting. Your essay will also be graded on its development. See the flow chart on page 77 in

essay according to APA standards. See The CSU Citation Guide. If you use outside sources, you need to use quotation

marks for lifted language, as well as in-text and reference list citations. The APA organization/formatting should adhere to

specifications for research papers, including the following:

 A title page that includes the title of the paper, the name of the student, and the name of the institution (Columbia

Southern University);

 A proper running head according to APA 6th edition guidelines found in The CSU Citation Guide on pp. 13-14;

 One (1) academically valid source (see p. 18 of The CSU Citation Guide for assistance with finding sources

through the CSU Online Library)

 A reference page with a centered header of “References” properly reflecting all sources used within the text (see

The CSU Citation Guide, p. 16 for overall formatting guidelines and pp. 7-12 for formatting guidelines for specific

source types).
