 Formatting the First Page of Your Paper
Do not make a title page for your paper unless specifically requested.
In the upper left-hand corner of the first page, list your name, your instructor's name, the course, and the
date. Again, be sure to use double-spaced text.
Double space again and center justify the title (DO NOT TAB). Do not underline, italicize, or place your
title in quotation marks; write the title in Title Case (standard capitalization), not in all capital letters.
Use quotation marks and/or italics when referring to other works in your title, just as you would in your
text: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas as Morality Play; Human Weariness in "After Apple Picking"
Double space between the title and the first line of the text.
In the upper right-hand corner insert page number; then include last name before number.
