I am building with my student a circular model with two conditions, the -process works- and the -process doesn't work-? Which is the best writing in the APA style? Plus or minus signs? Colors? The emoticons?
In APA style, keep your model clear and straightforward. Use symbols like checkmarks and X's or words like ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ for ‘process works’ and ‘process doesn't work’ respectively. Use colours like green for positive and red for negative. Avoid emoticons in formal writing. Provide a key, labels, a title, and a caption for your model.
