1. Confirm the Required Style
Check the syllabus before you start—some professors tweak standard rules.
2. Spell Out Course Codes Correctly
Mistakes like “ENG1010” vs “ENG 1010” stand out more than you think.
3. Use Title Case Thoughtfully
Capitalize major words but leave conjunctions lowercase unless they begin the title.
4. Double-Check the Date Format
APA uses Month Day, Year while MLA prefers Day Month Year—pick the right one.
5. Match Body Fonts
Use the same font family and size on the cover and main document for consistency.
6. Keep Versions
Save each cover page with the project name so you can reference it later.
