* Page Number: The page number "1" appears in the upper right-hand corner.
* Running Head: (Optional, but often required by instructors) A shortened version of your title (50 characters maximum, including spaces) appears in all uppercase letters in the upper left-hand corner. It's typically preceded by "Running head:" only on the first page. On subsequent pages, only the shortened title appears.
* Page Header: In the header of all subsequent pages, only the shortened title appears (in all uppercase letters).
* Title: Your paper's title is centered on the page, approximately one-third of the way down. It should be concise and descriptive (no more than 12 words is generally recommended). Capitalize the first letter of each main word (avoid capitalization of articles, prepositions, and conjunctions unless they begin the title or subtitle).
* Your Name: Your name is centered below the title.
* Your Institution: The name of your institution (university, college, etc.) is centered below your name.
* Course Information (Optional): Depending on your instructor's requirements, you may include your course name, number, and instructor's name. Center this information below the institution name.
* Date: The date is centered below the course information (if included), or below the institution name if course information is not required. Use the following format: Month Day, Year (e.g., October 26, 2023).

Important Considerations:
* Formatting: Use a standard font (like Times New Roman or Calibri) in size 12 point.
* Spacing: Double-space the entire title page.
* Alignment: All elements should be centered.
* Margins: Use 1-inch margins on all sides.
