Make sure your papers are in Times New Roman font and 12 pt font size. They should also be double-spaced with 1 inch margins. I recommend running your paper through grammarly to check for grammar issues, even if you can only do the free version it can still be helpful. I also recommend running papers through a couple plagiarism checkers like duplichecker and plagiarismdetector.net and if anything gets flagged as plagiarism, reword it.

Include your references on a separate page. List your references in alphabetical order. If you need help with citing sources in APA format you can use sites like citationmachine.net to help. Sources are usually listed in our learning guide in APA format except they sometimes use bold hyperlinks in the title of the source instead of adding the URL at the end and italicizing the title. If that's the case you can right click and copy the url from the hyperlink, add it to the end of the reference, and right click and remove the hyperlink from the title and also remove the bold formatting of the title and italicize it. If a source takes up multiple lines, it should use a Hanging Indent. A hanging indent is when you don't indent the first line but indent every line after it. Google how to do a hanging indent on Word, it's actually really easy.
