A cover page (paper title, your name, date of submission, course name). Do NOT include a running head or an abstract. Do not number the cover page.
The full text of your paper (at least 8-10 pages of text; more is okay, less is not). This minimum length requirement does NOT include the cover page or reference list. Pages should be numbered, beginning with the first page of actual text (p. 1), NOT the cover page.
A reference list (at least SIX credible sources) using APA style format (not MLA).
