Title of the Paper
Begin the paper here. Double space the entire document. Indent the first line by one-tab
key (0.5 inches). University of Phoenix accepts one space after a period. The first paragraph is
the introduction in every paper and does not contain a subheading. Provide a brief overview of
the general topic and end with a preview of the topics discussed in the paper. Unless the paper is
a self-assessment analysis or a reflections paper, never write using first person: I, me, my, mine,
etc. Never write academic papers using second person: you, your, yours, etc. Using editorial
“we” and “our” is not acceptable. For more information on writing style and grammar, review
the APA Manual, Chapter 4.
