Times New Roman 12 is the most common font style and font size used but these depends on the teacher or the professor’s choice. Note that specialty fonts such as bold, italics or underlined cannot appear on the paper not unless on the reference page. The paper should also be made and print out in a white 8.5 x 11 –inch paper.

DOING THE TITLE PAGE

The title page of the essay includes the writer’s basic information. This title page is for visual purposes and can be the page where the professor will write the final grade and other remarks. The alignment should be at the center and should be located in the top-half of the paper. Also take note of the running that is highly to appear on the upper left corner. Running Head is the shorter form of your thesis title and in 50 characters of less including all punctuation marks. Both upper and lower cases shall consists your essay and for words such as “the”, “an”, “a” and “and” no capitalization should be made not unless it is used as a pronoun.
