The majority of the cases will require 3 to 5 pages, double-spaced, 12-point font, to receive a passing grade. (The questions and references page are not a part of the word count.)
3. References: Include a minimum of three (3) appropriate academic references. The same reference may be cited more than once but will only count as one reference. The references should be listed at the end of the paper, in the references section as per APA standards. The minimum references for each Post include
