Professor Mazzaferro

Date turned in

Assignment name (Draft number, if applicable): Paper Title

This is the formatting you are required to use for all the papers you write for this course.

Your document should have 1-inch margins on all sides and should be double-spaced

throughout. You should be using 12-point Times New Roman font only. No exceptions. No

bolding or underlining is necessary, but the titles of stand-alone texts should be italicized.

The top of your document should contain your identifying information: your first and last

name, the course number, the professors name, and the date on which the paper will be turned in

(left-aligned, in that order). Centered just below your identifying information, you should

indicate the assignment name, draft number if applicable, and paper title. So for example, you

might write Research Paper (First Draft): Calvinism and Agency in Mary Rowlandsons

Captivity Narrative. The rest of the essay should be left-aligned. Each paragraph should be

indented a half-inch (just press tab once). There is no need to add an extra line break between

paragraphsi.e. the space between paragraphs should be the same as the space between lines.

Every page should have a header that includes your last name and the page number. This

can be created by selecting Header and Footer from the View menu in Microsoft Word.

First, click the Align Right icon. Next, type your last name and a space. Then, click the Insert

Page # icon and click Close. Papers should be stapled in the upper left-hand corner. Please

dont do that annoying folded corner thing. These rules will keep your work from getting lost.

Citations should follow MLA style. A piece of quoted text should be followed by a

parenthetical citation of the page number on which it appears, no matter how many times you

cite it. For example: Mazzaferro writes, Papers should be stapled in the upper left-hand corner

(1). Quotations that exceed four lines (called block quotations) should be set off from the

paragraph using a line break and indented one inch. You are expected to prepare a Works

Cited page to provide the full information for your parenthetical references. This should include

the authors full name (when available), the works title, the year in which the text was originally

published (if earlier than the year of the edition you are citing), the text in which it appears (if

applicable), the editors name (if applicable), the publishers name, publishing city, publishing

year, and overall page numbers (if the text is included in a larger volume). The list of citations

should be alphabetized, and all lines after the first line of each citation should be indented one

half-inch. The list should be single-spaced, and the names of authors listed more than once can

be replaced with a dash. If you have questions about the publishing information for any of the

scanned texts available on Sakai, just ask Prof. M. Heres a sample Works Cited page:
