Minimum Requirements

Professional communication is a valued talent in the marketplace, and these exercises provide wonderful practice in preparing for those experiences.

You are required to submit a 3-Page (Title Page, Content Page, Reference Page), APA 7 formatted paper with substantial content. Use the APA 7 Format Made Simple template for setting up every exercise correctly. This will reduce the opportunity for missing points due to APA formatting errors.

For all exercises and our project, I have provided an APA 7 Format Made Simple template for your convenience and it is located in several areas within the course. All you have to do is edit the applicable title page content areas, meet the minimum content requirements, and submit by the due date, in order to be eligible for full credit. Please do not lose points for failing to use the template in order to meet the minimum APA 7 formatting requirements.
