Introduction

 

An introduction typically begins with a few general statements about the topic followed

by a purpose statement. See the modules and specific assignments for examples of purpose

statements. All papers do not need an abstract, the introduction can serve this purpose. In the

introduction the writer should introduce the reader to the topic, in the body of the paper are the

details with references and in the conclusion, the paper should summarize what was presented in

the document. It is important that students understand that writing in first person is not

appropriate in the American Psychological Association (APA) style of writing. There are also

some other general rules. These can be found on the Announcement board and through some

various documents in module two. It is the responsibility of the student to get to know these

general rules and use them when writing. The introduction ends with a purpose, see the modules

and assignments for examples.

The paper should begin with a level one heading; bold, centered, with title case. There

are five levels of headings; the first three levels are the most commonly used in course

assignments. Levels four and five are typically used in longer papers (e.g., a master’s thesis or

dissertation). Using level headings helps your reader understand the organization of your paper.

The headings also serve to keep the writer of the paper on task and address items that are

pertinent to those headings. Follow the current APA level heading guidelines in your sample

APA Professional template or your instructor’s template within your course. In NUR 3805, you

are expected to use the APA template for all discussions and papers after module two. The

Reflective Journals do not have to be in the APA template, but if you choose to do so, the

formatting must be correct and adhere to APA guidelines.
