APA requires double spaced text, and a title page. If your school or professor requests that you put special information on your title page that is not specifically APA, be sure to follow the professor's request, even if it is not strictly APA. APA uses one inch margins all around- set those on page setup. Since this assignment asks only for your own personal experiences and opinions, it should not be necessary to use outside references to support what you have to say, unless you would like to do so. If you do use resources, be sure to cite then in-text and on the References page using APA citation protocol. APA does use the standard paragraph indent.

I suggest that you begin with an introductory paragraph, and then address each portion of the assignment using sub-headings, according to the APA headings list. At the end of your paper, I also suggest that you summarize what you have had to say regarding assessment using an extra concluding paragraph. I have included a sample beginning and concluding paragraph for you to see as examples of what yours might look like. This should help make your paper more professional-looking. Attached document has proper formatting.
