When writing college essays and papers for most courses, you will be asked to follow the Modern Language Association (MLA) format. This is a sample of what your college paper “MUST” look like. Don’t panic. Your computer has already set up margins, but you will have to learn the difference between a heading and a header.
A heading is only on the first page of a college essay. It is double-spaced like everything else in your essay and appears on the upper left hand corner of your paper. A heading for this course will look like the following example, but with your information:
John Smith
Essay #1
Professor J.G.Rochman
English 101
June 8, 2020
A header is different from a Heading. Not all software works the same way, but you will have to insert this with the page number. It is a special font and consists of your last name and the page number, which appear on the upper right hand corner of each page according to MLA. Practice this. If you go to page number and then type your last name in from of this number it will automatically appear on every page of your paper. It is a half inch down from the top of the paper. You can’t just eyeball ½ inch down and type your name and page number. You’ll be in trouble when you have to write much larger papers in your upper classes. If you don’t already know how to do t his, learn it now. If you have problems contact IT.
You must use MLA format and the essay must be two pages minimum and three pages maximum including the Works Cited page. They must be double spaced. See the MLA sample paper provided in the link I provided.

Make sure your paper format looks just like that one. This means Times New Roman Font size 12. Page numbers are on the top right hand corner with your last name. Heading with your name, professor’s name, course title, and date on the left. You need to insert page number. Make sure that every citation in your essay is listed in the Works Cited page, which is in alphabetical order.
