      I've been in college for 3 years now and have not been required to write with headings or subheading. Suddenly this professor graded my first paper for his class and is demanding I write with heading and subheadings. Like...what now??? 😳

    Thank you for this information. I recently returned back to school working on my Masters Degree after being out of school for over 15 years. I wrote my first paper and my professor killed it. I earned a terrible score. She said my paper was very unorganized and had no subheadings. I had no idea as to what she was talking about until I found your video. I have a better understanding as to why she said my paper was unorganized and hard for her to find the information outlined in her rubric. My next paper will be much better. Thank you.

    Nobodu explains how to set up the styles for numbering subheadings without showing the number in first level. If you have Chapter I, Chapter II and so on, you will need to number your subheadings: 1.1 1.2... for Chapter I; and 2.1 2.2... for Chapter II, but you don't wanna show 1. Chapter I nor 2. Chapter II. I've been looking for how to do that, and nobody on the internet explains it. Is it just me who has that problem?

    • @APAAssistant
      @APAAssistant  Před 5 lety

      Hi Cesar. I think I understand what you're asking; I'll try to answer. You wouldn't normally do what you mentioned above. You would just use a Level 1 for the chapter and then the appropriate level for other sections. If you're looking at the APA 6th (they do what you mentioned above) that's only done to organize the book. If you want, I can give you the link to my published dissertation and you can see how the levels are used.

      @@GachaRose2 Here's an exercise that will help: Lay out your outline and use it as headings. Unless it's a graduate research paper (in which case you should use the IMRD layout) your headings will likely be very similar to your outline. In other words, your professor should be able to look at your headings and see that (1) you met all of the requirements and (2) that your paper is on topic and is complete. Does this help?
