The APA Sample Paper provided by the Center for Writing Excellence represents the consensus of several deans and other
key academic officials at the University. The sample paper attempts to match APA style to the University's curriculum and
academic services. Nevertheless, in advanced matters of style and formatting, there are sometimes differing interpretations
of APA guidelines. While this sample paper is offered as a tool to help students with APA style, it is not a definitive or binding
representation of format accepted by individual faculty members. As a result, for all unresolved style and format issues, it is
essential that you consult with your faculty member before submitting your paper for a grade. Your instructor is the final
authority regarding acceptable format and style for all papers associated with his or her course, and the instructor's
recommendations will prevail over this sample paper in the event that there is a difference between the two.
