Title of Paper

A basic paper consists of an introduction, body, and conclusion. The introductory paragraph presents the topic of the paper and typically summarizes the main points and ends with a thesis. The body of the paper covers the main points and normally includes citations to sources that support the author’s claims and information. Papers should end with a conclusion. Conclusions normally summarize the main points that were addressed, without introducing new content.

The final portion of the paper is the references section. The references section gives complete information about all of the sources that are cited in the paper. For Rasmussen papers, the reference section follows APA formatting rules. For more information on how to write a paper and use proper APA citation and formatting, please see http://guides.rasmussen.edu/englishcomposition and http://guides.rasmussen.edu/apa.
