Yan 1 David Yan Professor Caldwell Level 3 Reading & Writing 12 January 2012 Using Correct MLA Format

in the Level Three IELP Reading and Writing Course To correctly format a writing assignment using the MLA format guidelines in the Level Three IELP Reading and Writing course, a student should do eight things. First, the paper should have one-inch margins on all sides. Second, in the upper left hand corner of the page, the students name (first and last), professors name, course title, and date should be included. Third, within the right side of the pages header, the students last name and page number should be included with one space in-between. Fourth, the paper should be double-spaced. Fifth, the first line of each paragraph should be indented half an inch (you can set your tab key to do this). Sixth, the font should be Times New Roman, and seventh, the font size should be 12 point. Finally, within the paragraph or essay, only one space should come after punctuation marks. If a student follows these guidelines, they will have succeeded in correctly using the MLA format in the Level Three IELP Reading and Writing course.
