The Heading, which includes your first and last name, professor’s name, Course Title and Date (note that it is
written in a non-traditional format) is always double spaced at the top left hand margin.
The title is one double space below the heading. Please also note that a header is required
at the top of the page. It should be aligned on the right side and contain your last name and page
number. If you are not sure how to add a header, please ask.
Your paper needs to be typed in Times New Roman 12 point font. To indent your
paragraphs to the correct spacing, be sure to use the tab key. It will give your papers a uniform
look throughout.
