I have attached the Style guide on how to format the paper. Here is the information again, below –

**This teacher does not allow us to use words like didn’t or can’t – Instead use Did not / Can not.

All assignments submitted in HSC program courses (Upper-Division Courses with prefix HSC, HSC, HUS, and RET) must use APA 6th edition editorial style. Some standards for this program may vary slightly from the APA format. This style guide provides a framework for using APA editorial style in the HSC program. If two standards are in conflict as you are formatting your assignment, this guide is the superseding document.

Basic Document Formatting
Use HSC file naming conventions for all document submissions: course_assignment_lastname (i.e. HSA2001_timeline_smith).The course number will be different for each course.
Use Arial or Times New Roman 12 point font (You may need to reset your default font both in the text area and in the header/footer area)
Double space the entire assignment including the Title page and References page
Margins should be 1″ on all sides of the entire length of your document, including the Title page and References page (This should already be the default setting).
To reduce the need to reformat each time you prepare a document, set the font and margins as default settings on your personal computer.
Place a running head and page number on each page, including the Title and References pages. The running head text must be flush left and the page numbers flush right.
On the title page, the page header consists of the words “Running head” (Note: the R is capitalized, the h is not) followed by a colon and the title of paper all in CAPITAL LETTERS. Subsequent pages should NOT use the words Running head, but continue to use CAPITAL LETTERS. Subsequent pages do NOT contain the words Running head, but continue to use CAPITAL LETTERS.

Example – Running head: TITLE OF PAPER

A maximum of four words is used for the running head (excluding the words, Running head) if your title is longer, use only the first four words of your title.
The page number is only numerals 1, 2, 3 and so on.
Do not include an abstract unless specifically asked for in the assignment directions.
The Title page is the first page of the document. Center the information on the title page horizontally, double space, and place in the upper one-third of the page. Note: APA editorial style allows for institutions to determine content of title page—this is why ours includes the course name, and date. The title page must include the following in the following order; information belongs in the upper 1/3 of the title page:
Assignment title in Upper and Lower Case – get creative – do not simply use the assignment name.
Course Name and Number (i.e., Current Issues in Health – HSA 1102)
Student Name
Date (i.e., October 1, 2018)
St. Petersburg College

Repeat the title of your paper at the top center of page 2. The header appears at the top left of the page and does not serve as the title on this page. Double space and begin your paper with appropriate paragraph indentations.
Indent the first line of every paragraph one-half inch.
Use two spaces after a period at the end of a sentence. Use a single space after any other punctuation.
Unless otherwise stated, ALWAYS include the assignment rubric – the rubric will help guide you in the development of your assignment. You do not need to include a rubric on discussion postings or PowerPoint Assignments.
Your assignment can only be accepted in MS Word, MS Excel, or MS PowerPoint format (unless specifically noted otherwise).Failure to submit in these designated formats may result in point deduction. Health Sciences

HSC Writing Resources
As a future leader in the workforce, effective written communication skills are important. To
help support the development of these skills, the HSC can be a writing intensive program. What
does this mean? All courses in the curriculum will rely on the written word for a substantial part
of your grade assessment.
Writing – What is the Big Deal?
Students often believe too much emphasis is placed on writing in HSC courses in comparison to
content. Consider this – if your reader cannot understand your writing due to excessive errors,
grammatical difficulties or lack of coherence, how can your work be fairly judged on content? It
is a fact of life that people often judge your intelligence and professionalism by how you express
yourself in writing. Thus, consider what you write as an indication of your professional abilities.
Write as if you are communicating with your supervisor rather than texting a friend. And,
perhaps most importantly, PROOFREAD your work!
What is Effective Communication?
Since the vast majority of online course interactions are written, students need to be able to
adequately express themselves and develop their work in writing. Clear and coherent written
expression is especially important since we tend to rely very heavily on non-verbal cues when
we communicate with each other. Grammar and spelling errors distort meaning and coherence or
cause readers to avoid reading the material that you have prepared or posted.
Be respectful and courteous, even if you disagree. The ability to rationally and maturely discuss
in writing differences in opinions is a strength that will serve you well in your professional
career. Cite the appropriate evidence where warranted and include accurate references.
What is Critical Thinking and Why is it so Important?
An important goal of the HSC program is to equip students with high-level critical thinking skills
crucial to success in professional careers. Critical thinking, most simply defined, is thinking
clearly and rationally. Instructors challenge students to examine, interpret, analyze and evaluate
the value and significance of the information they are learning.
But why is critical thinking so important? Critical thinking promotes problem solving skills
and the use of reason to investigate questions, evaluate ideas, and resolve conflicts in meaningful
ways – assets in any career! A critical thinker knows how to apply information, seek relevant
and reliable sources of evidence, and think “outside the box”.
Professional Writing Style in the HSC Program
All assignments submitted in HSC program courses (Upper-Division Courses with prefix HSC,
HSC, HUS, and RET) must use APA 6th edition editorial style. Some standards for this program
may vary slightly from the APA format. This style guide provides a framework for using APA
editorial style in the HSC program. If two standards are in conflict as you are formatting your
assignment, this guide is the superseding document.

11. Your assignment can only be accepted in MS Word, MS Excel, or MS PowerPoint format
(unless specifically noted otherwise). Failure to submit in these designated formats may
result in point deduction.
Level Headings
Headings are an excellent way to organize the content of your paper and clarify the flow of
information for the reader. Since the majority of the papers that you will write will be between
500 and 1500 words, you will generally use only levels I – III. Shorter papers may require only
a Level I heading, whereas the use of three levels of headings may be appropriate for a longer
paper. You do not need to use every level of heading in your papers!
The use of level headings should be sequential; you will always start at level one. You can use
level one many times throughout your writing, depending on the number of new sections that are
included in your paper. Please use the following as a guide to develop your level headings.
Level one: Centered, Bold, Upper and Lowercase Heading
Double space and Begin paragraph below with indentation
Level two: Flush Left, Bold, Upper and Lowercase Heading
Double space and Begin paragraph below with indentation
Level three: Indented (one stop), bold, lowercase heading, end with period.
Paragraph begins in-line with the heading after the period no return needed.

Health Belief Model (Level One)
Description (Level Two)
Application. (Level three).
Giving Professional Credit, Where Professional Credit is Due
In the HSC program you will complete many assignments and discussion postings; most of these
activities will require the use of citations and a references page. Please see specific assignment or
discussion forum directions for details. Citations and references are important for two reasons:
1. Give professional credibility to your work by supporting the development of your ideas.
2. Credit the individual(s) whose work was borrowed or is being referred to in the text.
Failing to cite when appropriate, is likened to stealing material from the original author;
you have not given credit where credit is due! This can also be considered plagiarism.
Plagiarism (whether intentional or unintentional) is the use of another’s work without
proper attribution. Plagiarism goes against the core values of the HSC program:
Professionalism and integrity and may result in academic discipline.
A few questions you may be asking yourself:
1. When do I need to cite? Cite anytime information from another source is used.
2. Read the sentence you wrote. If you ask yourself “How do I know this?” and the answer
is something other than “From personal experience” it should probably be cited.
3. Can I use exact quotes? No, quotes are not permitted in any HSC Program course.
4. What is paraphrasing? Paraphrasing is a way to present the concepts or ideas of others,
with appropriate citation, without copying the actual written work. Thus, a paraphrased
work is a new work that does not simply rearrange or replace the original author’s words.
5. Can I use a citation generator? The short answer is NO. These generators are often
inaccurate or not used properly and result in point deductions for the student.
HSC Program/Course Policy Regarding Quoted Material
In this course and the HSC program we expect students to demonstrate the ability to integrate
critical thought with a synthesis of the reading they do for assignments. This means that we want
you to use your own words to communicate facts as well as your knowledge, thoughts, reactions,
and reflections. We do NOT want students to simply cut and paste quoted material into their
work, even with proper citation. Any text taken directly from another source is not considered
the student’s work; it is a compilation of the words of others, and students will not receive a
grade for the quoted material. Students are expected to understand and demonstrate appropriate
paraphrasing, citations and references.
Quoted material SHOULD NOT be used. Use of quoted material, or work that has not been
properly paraphrased, cited or referenced will result in point loss.

Academic Integrity
Students in the HSC Program at St. Petersburg College are expected to demonstrate academic
integrity and professionalism in all matters during their tenure in the program.
What is Academic Integrity?
Academic integrity is founded upon the core values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect and
responsibility. It begins with the honest pursuit of learning goals and academic success.
Responsibility for academic integrity lies primarily with individual students and faculty members
of this college.
Why is Academic Integrity Important?
SPC expects students to adhere to high standards of academic honesty and integrity. Students
have an ethical obligation to adhere to the SPC Honor Code and are required to abide by all
Academic Honesty Policies as described in the student handbook.
How is Academic Integrity Defined?
Please see the SPC Honor Code (http://www.spcollege.edu/academichonesty/) for complete
details on defining academic integrity.
References Page Formatting
•

•
•
•
•
•
The References page will be on a separate page from the body of your assignment.
The word References is at the top of the page, under the running head. This word is
centered and not bolded, italicized, or underlined.
List Reference entries in alphabetical order. Do not alphabetize the authors listed in the
entry itself (order them as they appear in the original document).
Use a hanging indent for subsequent lines of 0.5″.
Do not include the credentials (i.e., Ph.D.) on your references page or in-text citations.
Digital Object Identifier (doi)
o If the article was obtained from the internet, such as an SPC Library Database,
and there is a Digital Object Identifier (doi), include this at the end of the
reference after the last period in the reference.
o If there is no doi listed for the article, and you retrieved the article from a SPC
library database, include the database from which it was retrieved.
o If there is no doi listed and you retrieved the article from the publisher, include
the root of their website (for instance: http://www.apha.org versus
http://www.apha.org/journal/august/2010/vol1/issue2/article.html).
If you are using two or more sources from the same author(s), there are specific ways to
format the References page and In-Text citation so as not to confuse your reader. This is
noted by the year of publication of each individual document. See examples below.
