Hey guys, i'm fairly new here but uh my professor made us do a field observation report and was tasked to follow apa7 level headings. i'm quite confused because these are the instructions, and maybe the format that she wanted us to follow:

>Below are the contents. Follow APA 7 level heading in the output
1 Original title of your report
2 Place of observation
3 Date of observation
4 Time started and time ended:
5 phenomenon description (2-3 sentences)
6 Participant: description of your participant (2-3 sentences)
7 Ethical consideration: describe the ethical protocol that you followed (paragraph form)
8 Results: narrative report of your observation.

So this is what I did:

>Original Title (Centered)
Place of Observation: Place (Left alignment)
Date of Observation: Date (Left alignment)
Time started and time ended: Time (Left alignment)
5-6 being centered, title case, and bold face

I looked at it and it seemed a bit awkward so I revised it to like this:

>Original Title (Centered)
Place and Date of Observation (Left alignment)
Indent, and a single sentence.
Duration of Observation (Left alignment)
Indent, and a single sentence.
5-6 being centered, title case, and bold face

Also just wanna ask if there are references needed in a field observation report, since I only used raw data from my field notes, other than ethical considerations?

Any replies are appreciated!
