Title Goes Here: No Italics, No Underlines, No Bold

Begin your paper here. Your paper should look exactly like this one. Cite like this

(Author 8). If theres no author, then cite like this (Article Title). All your margins should be

set to 1. To do this, in Microsoft Word, go to File, then Page Set Up, then select margins and set

the left, right, bottom and top to 1 margins. Your font should be Times New Roman, size 12, no

exceptions. Make sure you double space your text.

To go to the next paragraph, hit Enter once and tab. There should be no extra space

between paragraphs. To insert a header where you can put your name, in Microsoft Word, go to

View, then select Header/Footer. A box will appear in the top of your document. Right Justify

and write your last name. There should be a number icon where you can select to insert the page

number. Clicking here will ensure that the page number changes for each consecutive page. If

you type in the number, the number you type in will appear on every page. Then go to the

header and footer tab, and place a check in the different first page box to remove the header

from the first page, so that it will only appear on page 2 and after.

If you fail to cite in your paper, then you are committing plagiarism.
