Include a title page. Center your first and last name with a 3- to 4-inch margin. Drop down one line, but keep the text centered, and include the subject title and instructor name. Drop down one line, again keep the text centered, and add the date. Add a title for the term paper, if applicable. Include after the subject title and instructor.
Number each page, inserting at the top right- or left-hand corner of each page.
Insert your name on each page. There is no standard rule, but common positions include the top or lower left or right side of the page.
Double space the body of the term paper and justify the text. Some instructors require a specific font size, but traditionally, term papers should be typed using a size 12 Times New Roman font.
Include a bibliography or index. The bibliography will list all resources, print and Internet, that were used in the term paper. All quotes must be included, and the original text or source must be listed accordingly. The bibliography will close the term paper and should also be numbered.
