College Composition / Unit 26 CMP 0640 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Headings in APA
Captions available
The idea
APA papers use headings to mark major sections, such as Method, Results and Discussion.
In practice
First-level headings are bold and centered; second-level headings are bold and flush left.
Where people slip
Headings help readers navigate a report; a long APA paper without them is harder to use and to skim for results.
