Lab Report:

• Abstract
  • Following the rules in Chapter 7 on Preparing the Abstract, write an abstract for you paper. (You can go back through your old labs for key information from each section.)
    • Start with 1-2 sentences for each of the main sections and modify as necessary (watching your word length).
  • Save often and check to make sure you have followed all of the computer lab and formatting rules!
• Reference
  • Type out the complete reference for the background article.
    • Be detailed-oriented (every little space, comma, period, italicized word means something in this section).
  • Use a heading for the Reference section.
  • Format the Reference page so that there is a “hanging indent” – the first line sticks out longer and the following lines are indented (Do not use the Tab button to achieve this). This is in the lecture!
  • Save often and make sure you have followed all of the formatting rules!
• Title page
  • Header, running head, title, author, affiliation (San Diego State University and your TAs name here). This (too) is in the lecture!
• Pulling the whole paper together
  • Open the electronic versions of all of the other sections (intro, method, results, discussion).
  • Put the sections in the correct order (abstract first, etc.) and on the correct pages (see Writing With Style guide). This (also) is in the lecture!
  • You have just written a complete APA-style paper!
