Size: 5 pages, letter size (8.5" x 11") - These were the assigned dimensions and length for this paper, fairly standard for an assignment such as this
Margins: 1 inch - again, this is my standard when it comes to writing papers, as it allows a sufficient number of words per page while avoiding looking crowded
Font: Book Antiqua - this is a font introduced to me by a professor my freshmen year; to me, it is more dynamic and memorable than the standard Times New Roman, while still fitting in to the classic look of a serif font.
Color: Black and White
Punctuation: Periods, many commas, occasional semi-colons and colons
Heading: Single spaced (to fit into 5 pages). This is a standard heading that I use for most assignments, including my name, the date, course, and a general description of the assignment.
Works cited via footnote - as I cited a single article, I felt that a separate works cited page would be wasteful when a footnote would suffice. While this may not fit 100% with the MLA guidelines, but I felt that the savings justified the choice.
