For this assignment, we had to write a title page and introduction for a research paper in APA format. We looked at the 2013 NAEP 8th grade mean math scores for all 50 states. We had to compare the mean scores of states that had Republican governors to the mean scores of states that had Democratic governors. We had to come up with a question, propose a hypothesis and indicate the independent and dependent variables.
We also compared the mean scores of states that banned the open carry of firearms to the mean scores of states that required a license to carry firearms in the open. Below is the link to my title page and introduction.
Examining State Differences
What I found difficult to do using the header/footer tab in word was that you cannot put "Running head" on the title page and NOT on the pages to follow. If anyone else has figured out how to do that, please let me know! I tried different ways and finally ended up making the top margin .05" and typing in the header and pages for each page. The APA guidelines were easy to follow. They give you examples, also, which really helps.
It was difficult to whittle down the introduction to 250 words!
