1st essay page example and directions below:

First Page

Research essays should not include a separate title page. Instead, insert a "header" that includes both your last name and the page number, flush with the right-hand margin, 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) below the top of the page. Approximately 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) below this (i.e., one inch (2.54 cm) below the top of the page), type the following, flush with the left margin, and each item double-spaced, and below the previous item:

1) Your full name.
2) Your instructors name.
3) Course title and number.
4) Date of submission.

Double-spaced below the date of submission, centre the title of your essay; each line of this is also double-spaced. Double-spaced below the last line of the title, begin the first paragraph of your essay.
