You are required to pay attention to grammar and clarity and to avoid colloquialisms. References are not included in the assignment word count. Also, don\u2019t forget the numerous resources available to you as you build your competence and fluency with APA formatting and writing style. In particular, check out the RRU APA 7 formatting checklists<\/a> as well as RRU WriteAnswers<\/a> where you can ask your APA questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
