The paper will be written as a Standard Operating Procedure or as a "White Paper" informing the reader of the topic chosen. You will identify and discuss the topic or procedure in a paper of not less than 7 pages using 12 pitch, Times New Roman font, and double spaced. You may include diagrams, drawings, illustrations, or pictures but your word count must equal a minimum of 1,800 words.

The above paragraph is written using 12 pitch, Times New Roman font, double spaced, but is italicized.

Part of the purpose of the assignment is to test your ability to properly format, and present in a concise manner an SOP, which any reader could easily follow and understand. When working in the business world you usually do not receive explicit instructions on "how to do it" but you do receive instructions on what your superiors want. It defeats the purpose of this assignment to give any more instructions than are in the italicized paragraph above. I believe it is sufficient to say that your grade will be based on both the content and form of the SOP. Forget using APA format except for the grammatical requirements, pitch, spacing and paper length given above.
From Webster's dictionary, "SOP, a set of fixed instructions or steps for carrying out usually routine operations". A white paper is an, "authoritative report summarizing policy or procedure".

If you have not been exposed to an SOP, I suggest you go to the library and research the form. There are no citations in an SOP but I

would like a reference page, not counted as one of the six pages.
