Your page header will appear at the top right corner of every page, including the title page and reference page, and it should look identical on each page except for the page number. There is a sample title page on RamCT in the folder called “Out-of-Class Writing Assignments.”b. Create an APA style reference page for your paper, as you have learned in class. The reference page will include the page header in the upper right corner, the word “References” centered at the top of the paper (under the page header), and then one reference (the article you read).

Within the text of your paper, appropriately acknowledge your source by citing (referring to) the original article. For this paper, include one in-text citation at the beginning of the paper. APA style citations include the names of the authors in the order that they appear on the article, followed by the year of publication. Follow this guide for doing the citation:o If your article has one author, do it like this:Anderson (2006) conducted a study in which…o If your article has two authors, do it like this:Anderson and Tarpley (2007) conducted a study investigating the effects of…o If your article has three, four, or five authors, do it like this:Anderson, Tarpley, Stewart, and Gingerich (1997) investigated the relationship between…o If your article has six or more authors, do it like this:Anderson et al. (2002) tested the hypothesis that musical aptitude would be positively correlated with…Important: There are other ways to do in-text citations in APA style (you will notice this as you are reading your text) and to use direct quotes, but you will learn those later.
