Remember that the website itself is a source.Page 4 of 4 Did you include in-text citations for all the resources you used? Only references used to support your writing should be on your reference list. Numbers ten and below should be spelled out. Are quotes referenced correctly in-text? Quotes should be used sparingly. There should be no more than one quote in a three-page paper. Are your sources presented properly on your reference list? Pay close attention to indention rules and capitalization rules. Is your title page presented according to APA format? Is there a page break inserted for the reference page? Did you include an appropriate running heading for your paper? Did you proof your paper and have another person proof your paper before submitting the paper?Writing assignments are taken quite seriously.
