Iris Asked This:

1. Do you require the Author’s Note on the title page of the paper? It gets a little confusing when there is more than one author.
2. Do you require the levels of headings APA requires for organizing a paper:

Shelley Answered This:

I don't require Author's Notes nor do I require headings.  With that said I do prefer and recommend they use headings to guide the reader through the paper.

So, even though she does not require headings within the body of their papers, she prefers them.
