TITLE PAGE. Class papers should begin with a title page (though some put the title on the firstpage of the text; consult your instructor). Place the title of the paper a third of the way downthe page, usually centered. If the paper has both a main title and a subtitle, put the main titleon a single line, followed by a colon, and begin the subtitle on the next line. Several linesbelow it, place your name along with any information requested by your instructor, such asthe course title (including its department and number) and the date. Figure A.1 shows asample title page for a class paper. For most such papers, this is the only front matter needed.For a thesis or dissertation, most departments and universities provide model title pagesthat should be followed exactly for wording and form. Otherwise, use figure A.2 as a model.Count the title page as page i, but do not put that number on it.
