Style is important.  Document design and layout are paramount to ethos in a scholarly endeavor.

Anytime I ask you to type something, I would like it to appear in MLA format.

I will demonstrate in class how to implement these features (examples below).

MLA format contains:

• Times New Roman (12 pt. font) (this is it)
• double-spaced (click "format," then click "paragraph")
• two spaces after every sentence (periods, question marks, etc.)
• spell-checked (ABC button)
• 1 inch margins for top/bottom (click "file," then click "page setup")
• 1 - 1.25 inch margins for sides
• left-justified heading (contains name, class, instructor, day-month-year)
• centered title (with extra spacing)
• page # footers (also centered)
