Abstract:
This section is a summary
of your findings in your
paper
Include your running
header from previous
pages
Abstract example:
The study is to show how even a “sport” video game
can incorporate many types of learning, to call attention
to what might be overlooked as significant forms of
learning, and to understand and take advantage of the
opportunities video games afford as more deliberate
learning environments. The aspects explored are the
skills and techniques required to be successful in the
game, the environment that skaters skate in, the
personal vs. group identity that is shown through the
general appearance of the skater, and the values and
icons that the game teaches players. We are finding
that sport video games support learning; we hope to
find how one learns about oneself as a learner from
playing.
Dual Credit Tool Kit: APA
Main body:
•
Double space
•
Use in-text citations
•
Use clear, concise
and active language
•
“We asked participants”
instead of “Participants
have been asked
”
Main body example
:
THE FIRST TELECOMMUNICATIONS POLICY
Once the technology behind the telephone improved enough for widespread use, there were
many carriers to choose from in Canada. In 1905, there were 83 independent telephone
companies operating in Canada. The issue was service between Bell and the independents.
Indeed entry by independents gave rise to a flurry of anticompetitive activity on the
part of Bell, carefully designed to stall and, if possible, reverse growth of the
insurgents. In the case of multiparty rural lines, for example, Bell often granted
urban interconnections but only on condition that Bell be afforded control over all
further connections; sometimes Bell interconnected with one company to eliminate
connections for others, a ploy to put the latter out of business.
(Babe, 1988)
To solve this issue, the government brought all telephone companies under the control of the
Board of Railway Commissioners in 1906, giving it power to set prices and contracts. Dramatic
growth followed, but Bell Canada reigned over the hundreds of independents.

Many others agree with the
assessment that “this is a seriously
flawed study” (Methasa, 1994, p.
22) and do not include its data in
their work.
