Summary and Conclusions
This section will tie together all sources used for this
comprehensive learning assessment assignment, conclusions
drawn from the readings, and any inconsistencies. This section
will generally be one to two paragraphs. Notice the paper has a
continuous flow; there are no page breaks between sections.
The only page breaks occur between the title page and the
introduction, and between the summary or conclusions and the
reference page. Note: If there is a header at the bottom of the
page (on the last line), you will need to insert a page break
immediately before the header to properly move it to the next
page with its text. All references for the assignment must
appear on a separate page (see the following page for an

4. example). The requirement is to have at least 2-peer-reviewed
scholarly references and the textbook as resources.
References
This section will reference all original work cited throughout
the paper. It also gets its own page, meaning that it will not
start at the bottom of a previous page. The heading should
appear at the top of the page (first line of text) and all reference
material should be listed below in alphabetical order by first
last name. Also, the title for books is always in italic format
and in sentence form. In contrast to book references, the title
for articles is in sentence format, not in italic, but the name of
the journal or magazine is in italics. Furthermore, references are
formatted with a hanging indent, meaning the first line is never
indented, and all subsequent lines are indented. See examples
