General Presentation

Full details of presentation are also found in the MLA Handbook (section 3), but the most important points are:

• assignments should be typed, double-spaced, on one side of A4 sized paper
• leave 2.5 cm margins to allow space for comments
• plastic envelopes are not required or encouraged
• there is no need for a separate cover page
• include your name, student number and tutor on the top right hand corner of the first page
• do not be tempted to use fancy fonts or color printers: content is paramount
• underlining should only be used as an alternative to italics: never use both
• avoid bolding except in headings
