Abstract (centered, non-bold)

(Inclusion is optional, check with your instructor)

An abstract is a brief, comprehensive summary of the contents of a paper and thus should be written only after the paper is completed. It allows readers to quickly review the key elements of a paper without having to read the entire document. This can be helpful for readers who are searching for specific information and may be reviewing many documents. The abstract may be one of the most important paragraphs in a paper because readers often decide if they will read the document based on information in the abstract. An abstract may not be required in some academic papers; however, it can still be an effective method of gaining the reader's attention. The following sentences serve as an example of what could be composed as an abstract for this paper (note, the abstract is not indented):

Introduction on the Overall Assessment

An effective introduction often consists of four main components including: (a) the position statement, thesis, or hypothesis, which describes the author's main position; (b) the purpose, which outlines the objective of the paper; (c) the background, which is general information that is needed to understand the content of the paper; and (d) the approach, which is the process or methodology the author uses to achieve the purpose of the paper. This information will help readers understand what will be discussed in the paper. It can also serve as a tool to grab the reader's attention. Authors may choose to briefly reference sources that will be identified later on in the paper as in this example (APA, 2010a; APA, 2010b; Walker, 2008).
