    Hello. My final project is a 5-10 page research paper, to be done in MLA style. The instructions merely say it requires a cover page and a Works Cited page; nothing about outline pages. Are outline pages so standard that I should just assume they’re expected and include them, or can I omit them unless they’re specifically mentioned?
    Thanks

    This example is awesome in format and content. Who would have thought to take this approach on such a controversial topic.

    Thank You the example has been very helpful. I start classes online thursday and I have a sample paper due this weekend for my orientation credit. I have never used this style. I haven’t written a paper in over 25 yrs. I was given written instructions but to see some type of visual is awesome. Thank you again!

  • Cristina gomez May 2, 2015, 8:31 am

    Thanks, it helps a lot. I was wondering where goes your name on the paper, because I just started to take classes by internet so I don’t really have a teacher to teach me how do this kind of papers and you did it, God bless you!

  • Lauri April 17, 2015, 7:52 pm

    This information was very helpful, thank you! I utilized the cover format with the university name at the top as it looks much more professional than the second. I like to have as much information on the cover page as is allowed. 🙂

  • Jani March 19, 2015, 7:52 pm

    Thanks! This was really helpful for my final paper in one of my classes. I really appreciate it 🙂

    This was very helpful in the preperation of writing my paper for english and business classes. Thanks

  • Angie Pan May 1, 2013, 11:45 pm

    I was trying to format my cover page in MLA. On the page about the cover page it says to have the university name at the top, the title 1/3 down, and the name, course/teacher/date information at the bottom. In the sample, there is no university name at the top, the title is 1/3 down, the name is in the middle of the page, and the course/teacher/date information at the bottom. The discrepancies are confusing and I suggest correcting this. Otherwise the site was very helpful.

    • Stephen May 2, 2013, 9:56 am

      Thanks, Angie! If your teacher doesn’t provide any instructions, you can use any of those two samples. Please do confirm with your teacher to make sure. Take care!

  • Lebrooks April 15, 2013, 10:00 am
