Formatting a student version of an APA-Style Paper in Google Docs (APA 7th edition)

- I mentioned in the video that everything in an APA-style paper is double-spaced. This is mostly correct; however, if you use tables in your paper, those may be single spaced.

Thank you! They added APA citations to google docs too, so that's pretty cool.
Hi, perem,
They did! Just be careful: Citation generators are only as good as the writer's knowledge of APA style and the information that writer inputs. They are *never* something that can be relied upon to do things exactly right. Always be sure to check citations and references against APA-style guidelines before turning in your paper! Fortunately, the new updates have come with an updated style blog, and guidelines for in-text citation and references can be easily found on their website. For information on citations, check here: apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/citations
For references, take a look here: apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references
@@hannahkauffman7677 yep yep, can't take information from bad sources. Thanks a lot for your videos, helped me a ton with my assignments!
@@wak9808 I'm glad they've been helpful. Thanks for checking them out!
Super dope explanation thank you miss
You're the best! Thanks!
Also, check in with your professor but in the 7th edition you do NOT need an abstract for a student paper!
Hi, Shirley! Thanks for reinforcing this! I note at 5:40 that APA does not require it, but the manual does state to check with the instructor to see whether he or she prefers or requires one.
Thank you for the help.
Reference page (command + enter ) or (insert & break & page break) -> next page
Type references in bold, at the center
*enter, click unbold, left align and put in references*
Thank you so much, I am so grateful
Great guide!
Thank you for the help!
Thank you very helpful!
Nice work good communication skills.
Thank you so much😭

Thanks for your nice video! I still have a question. How does the margin look like in APA style?
Good question! APA calls for 1” margins all the way around.
Thank you so much!!

When will you be making the professional APA 7 paper video?
As soon as I can! Hopefully in the next couple of weeks. The changes in the higher education setting due to the pandemic rearranged my schedule a bit.
Al fin me sirve uno :D
Thank you!
I honestly feel like I can cancel my appointment in the learning commons now. Thank you
thank you!
thanks you!
Hi Hannah, what about content table? Where should I add it?
Hi, Daniela,
Tables may appear in the text of the paper, close to the discussion of the information presented in them. You may also choose to place tables after the references. APA has a helpful online discussion of the subject here: apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/tables-figures/tables
Table placement is addressed toward the bottom of that page :)
Link to the abstract video?
It was the best video I was looking for. You explained so nicely with each clear details. Thanks alot for your great 👍 description about APA formating. I was really in search of such video. Stay blessed dear 😍
Really appreciate this video. Other videos have piano in the back ground. Do you know how hard that is for some one with ADHD to focus. So I really appreciate that there's no piano in the back ground lol
Do you have to put the title on every page or just the first page when you start the essay?
Hello! Just on the title page and at the very beginning of the essay. Do not include the title on any of the following pages.
After the abstract, do you start the paper on the next page or continue on the same page?
Hi, Haylye,
The essay begins on the page following the abstract. The abstract has a page all to itself, even if it is quite short!
senior year of college and I'm watching this fdsdfs thanks
Does the abstract have to fill in the whole page?
Hello! No, the abstract should be no more than 150-250 words, but that's a maximum count. I generally recommend to my students that they write 2 or three sentences for 2-3 pages, 4 or 5 for 4-5 pages, and for 6 or more pages, 7 or 8 sentences should be appropriate, but that many may not be needed. The abstract is defined as a "brief and comprehensive summary of the essay." Think of the synopsis on the back of a book or movie or for a show episode. You should only need a few sentences.
does every paragraph require a tab before beginning?
Yes, every paragraph must be indented.
@@MariquitaJ15 thank u!
How do I find out what my course number is?
It should appear on the course syllabus you received from your instructor. You can also look at your registration in your student portal: It should appear there with the class name. If neither of those is useful, take a look at your school or university's course catalogue or your course schedule :)
@@hannahkauffman7677 ok thank you, you literally saved me from getting a zero on my rough draft last night, I’m a sophomore in high school and this was my first time learning about APA format.
God bless you!!!!!!!!
How many lines between references? Also, how many lines between paragraphs in the bodies of the paper?
No additional lines appear between the references or between paragraphs. The hanging indent shows the reader where each new reference begins. APA does not include additional spaces between paragraphs because the first-line indent shows the reader where each new paragraph begins.
@@hannahkauffman7677 Thank you so much for your answer !!! And this video was also very helpful. I used your instruction to create a base template for my papers. I am planning on making a copy of the template for each paper I write and then filling it in as I write the paper so I can be sure that the formatting will always be correct. You have truly saved me so much time! Thanks again!
thanks
Does the title have to be on every page of my paper?
Great question! No, for the student version of the essay, a running head is not used. That guidance was for the 6th edition.
En español no está?
good
I'm here for a major college essay assignment.
Do you need to add tables or figures to your essay?
Can I justify all the contents of my research?
Hannah thank you so much
Helpful video, however, the video quality and resolution was so poor it was difficult to see exactly what was taking place.
google docs has a template for this btw
Holy crap, what a life saver.
Hi, Charles!
Thanks for the note! Yes, several word processing programs come with APA templates built in; however, I have yet to find one that is completely without error. Using a template can certainly save a student some time, but he or she should be certain to check the details of that template to ensure they are correct. Especially in college, it is never wise to trust that anything pre-made--citations, formatting templates, etc.--is 100% correct, and instructors often (not always) expect them to be so. If a student is planning to enter a profession in which he or she will be publishing work, it is vital for that individual to ensure that he or she is very familiar with both small and major details!
10:14 hanging
skip to 1:02
Be sure to check whether a student version of the essay or a professional version is necessary first!
why not just post the template on docs for people to open or download
Great questions! Working in a template often causes more difficulty than help. If folks don't know what the spacing requirements are, they may not realize that as information is added, some spacing needs to be deleted. It does not always translate well from computer to computer, and sometimes things don't get deleted or changed as necessary, such as things in title or class positions. If a student knows how to format something correctly independently, if they do choose a template later on, they will know what needs to be adjusted in order to do it correctly. Incidentally, using pre-made references is not especially useful, either, because if the reference has been made incorrectly, the student will not know what is wrong, so if points are deducted for incorrect references or formatting, the student will not know what to fix or change in future. Therefore, my goal is to present the necessary information for students to approach these assignments independently and correctly.
