Hello,
I'm writing an APA format research paper on the topic of gun control.
This is one of the first such papers I have written (this is my first
semester in college). The instructor's instructions were rather vague
and he just stated he wanted the paper in APA format. I am including
several different subtopics in the paper, each with several paragraphs
in it. What is the proper format to differentiate one subtopic from
another? Do I include a heading at the beginning of each new
subtopic?
Here is basically how my paper outline looks:
Main Topic: Gun control in the U.S.
Subtopic1: Evolution of Modern-Day Gun Control
Subtopic2: Flawed Studies on Gun Control Effectiveness
Subtopic3: Failures of the Assault Weapons Ban
Subtopic4: Benefits of Concealed Carry
Subtopic5: Cato Institute Study
Each of these subtopics will have several paragraphs. It isn't
practical to include everything on one subtopic under a single
paragraph. I tend to think it would be difficult to follow if I just
had all the paragraphs together like an essay. Anyone familiar with
APA format who could help?
Thanks.
