MLA Micro-course

Questions to consider:

• Does my assignment ask me to format the entire paper in MLA style?
• What font, font size and spacing should I use?
• How do I create a hanging indent?

MLA Paper Format Basics:

• Use a 12-point font (Arial or Times New Roman)
• Double space entire paper. No extra space between paragraphs.
• 1 inch margins on all sides.
• Indent first line of each paragraph 1/2 inch (or 5 spaces)
• No title page unless requested by instructor. Put your name, instructor, course number and date in upper left of first page.
• Paper title is centered (DO NOT use underline, quotation marks or CAPS for this)
