Please note that it is doubled spaced with no extra spaces between paragraphs and that all margins are one inch and the font is 12 opt. Arial. These are elements that you may have to adjust depending on which version of Word you are using.
Please also note the heading that contains the student’s name, then the teacher’s name (spelled correctly), then he course and section number, and finally, the date: day, month, and year, in this order.

There are multiple ways to add this feature, based on which version of Word you are suing. Be sure to learn how to insert a header in the upper right corner with your last name and page number.

G. , “Now let us turn to . ” Can be rephrased as “The next characteristic .. * Numerals (only with specific amounts, decimals, dates, etc. ??see textbook) Rough drafts do count as part of your overall class grade. *Ideas and Formatting ideas attributed to other Cincinnati State Instructors.
