APA Style is not just in-text citing and a list of references. It also includes the formatting of your paper. Here are some of the basics elements.
APA provides an example of a student paper and an example of a professional paper (such as an article to submit to a journal).
For more details, consult the APA Paper Format page. Ask your professor about including a title page because they may not require it. If you are formatting your thesis or dissertation, you must use the Graduate School's template.
