In your three to five-page paper (not including title page or reference listing), you are required to have a minimum of three relevant sources from the UMGC Online Library for support (other than the text book) and use APA format for your paper.  Always start with an introduction to the topics and end with a summary/conclusion.  Keep in mind that whenever you use an idea from an outside source you must include a properly formatted APA Version 7 citation. You also need to have a properly formatted reference listing on the last page of the paper (reference listings go on their own page.)
