According to my performance on the
American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) Vision 2020 is similar to a jigsaw puzzle. To appreciate the whole picture, we have to piece together the interlocking tabs and pockets of the puzzle. Clinical decision-making (CDM) serves as the tabs and pockets of APTA Vision 2020. CDM works as a link among the elements of Vision 2020, namely: autonomous practice, direct access, doctor of physical therapy degree, lifelong education, evidence-based practice, a practitioner of choice and professionalism (APTA, n.d.). An effective and efficient patient care is founded on CDM (Wainwright, Shepard, Harman, & Stephens, 2011). All clinicians had developed from a novice, intermediate and experienced therapists. Each one of us had undergone a metamorphosis…

A Reference page is the most critical of pages in every academic paper. It represents your quality of research, your quality of intellectual effort, your ability to understand the assignment, and your ability to acquire the finest sources who are, in essence, vouching for your theory, your point-of-view, your opinion, and therefore, your argument, thereby providing you with your credibility! Why would anyone consider using junk here?…
Students of Grand Canyon University (GCU) are required to use the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.) for preparing written assignments, except where otherwise noted. All students should have a personal copy of the APA Publication Manual , which is available through the GCU Bookstore or local bookstores. In the interest of providing resource material for student use, this guide to APA style and format has been developed and made available. It is based on the current 6th edition of the APA Manual. However, the guide only highlights aspects of APA style and format, and so it is recommended that students use the APA Manual as a resource when writing APA-style papers. An APA template has been provided in the student download and use.…
I am no professional at writing by any means, but I can get my thoughts and point across. I feel that two challenges that I will encounter while using the APA style would be plagiarism and writing style and format. I have noticed in the past when I was in college I tend to ramble a bit throughout my papers. I understand at this level more will be required of me and my out of my papers. Second, when it comes to plagiarism I understand it is crucial not to ever use anyones words other than your own at any point. Brushing up on my power phrasing skills is on the to do list. This way my words are clear and never misleading.…
It’s important to do what your instructor tells you to do when you’re doing an APA format. Always change the text of the body of the paper. Make sure your font size is at 12 and your font is Times New Roman for APA Style. Go to Line Spacing after you’re done and underneath Line Spacing go to the drop down and click double. Make sure there is no extra spacing between the paragraphs. Under spacing you’ll see before and after. Make sure they’re both at 0 PT.…
Though it is widely used for written assignments in college programs, APA style is designed for submitting scholarly papers for publication. The running head is a publisher’s term for a shortened form of the title at the top of every page, with a different format for the title page. Type the text of your running head directly in the page 1 and page 2 header.…
During the past two and half years at University of South Alabama, I took several writing courses. When I first started the Master program, I was very afraid because I always had a weakness of writing papers. I can honestly since starting the program and having understanding professors that gave perfect feedback, I am a little more confident in writing papers. Even though at times it still hard for me to gather information to write a paper. Prior to starting at USA, I have been out of school for seven years and couldn’t remember how to write in American Psychological Association (APA) style. APA has several rules that you have to follow in order for it to be correct. I feel that I have gotten a lot better with APA format, especially after the professors has taken off several points for different mistakes. I have learned from my mistakes during my time at USA.…
