Introduction

Thesis Title in Regular Text

This is some text beginning the introduction….

This is a second paragraph, so the first line should be indented slightly. As well, we should be seeing the text as double-spaced so that comments can be written in pretty red ink above the lines for editing.

Again, the standard text should be double-spaced, which the template should take care of for you.

Now for an example of a block quotation that spans multiple lines, with this being the first. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat. Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

If there’s a second paragraph in the block quote, it should be indented, like this. Duis autem vel eum iriure dolor in hendrerit in vulputate velit esse molestie consequat, vel illum dolore eu feugiat nulla facilisis at vero eros et accumsan et iusto odio dignissim qui blandit praesent luptatum zzril delenit augue duis dolore te feugait nulla facilisi. Nam liber tempor cum soluta nobis eleifend option congue nihil imperdiet doming id quod mazim placerat facer possim assum.

And now these are the lines following the quotation, starting with the current line. The template typically ensures that spacing is all appropriate.

Note that the table below shows you an example of how to format an APA style table properly, in terms of heading format, note formats, etc. If you insert your own tables, be sure to follow the guide on how to insert a Table Caption above the table, so it will appear properly in your List of Tables.

Table 1
Population and Age by County, 2016

Region	Population	Mean Age
Hants Countya	23000	41
Kings County	87000	42
Note. Notes relevant to the whole table go here, including explaining any abbreviations. aNotes about a specific cell /area of the table are denoted with a superscript, like this (e.g., if data for Hants County actually came from 2015, not 2016 like all the rest, you could note it here). With the line below, you’d indicate your p-levels with asterisks, if applicable. (Only include if applicable; you don’t necessarily need to include all of them if they’re not used). +p < .10. *p < .05 **p< .01 ***p< .001

Figure 1 shows you an example of how to format an APA style figure properly, in terms of figure caption format, etc. If you insert your own figures, be sure to follow the guide on how to insert a Figure Caption below the table, so it will appear properly in your List of Figures.
