General comments about assignments
Often students do not follow the formatting instructions, specifically using
1" margins. Also, when using Word or any other word processor, you
need to learn about using section breaks so that your page numbers do not start
on the title page! Title pages are not
numbered, and the first page after the title page is numbered as 1. You do
not need page numbers if you only have one page after a title page, but if you
have more than one page of text, title pages are necessary. Also, when
doing a title page, make sure that the text is centered VERTICALLY as well as
HORIZONTALLY. Lots of people didn't set their margins at 1", instead
using as much as a 2" margin! Finally, be sure
to staple your pages together so they don't get lost. For info on section
breaks, check out
