HOW TO FORMAT PAPERS: download the PDF | download the Word doc

The document available for download here describes and displays the visual format that is to be used when submitting your papers in Muir Writing classes (and also for most other courses you'll take at the university). In general - but not exactly - it follows the "MLA" (Modern Language Association) style. If you use MSWord as your word processor, the easiest way to conform to this format is to download the MSWord
version of the file and begin using it; otherwise, print the PDF version and make sure to make your word processor's output conforms to its layout.

There is further information about proper citation format on pages A85 and A86 in the Muir 40 Reader (Spring & WINTER 2006, Winter 3006 edition), which you should also review.
