When you are planning to prepare a paper using the format of MLA writing style, there are major considerations that must be followed as well as the some technical issues on citation and bibliography.
In writing a Research Assignments, the format should be typed on paper size no larger that 8.5 x 11 (letter size), should used double spaced, spacing, either using Times New Roman, or Courier or Arial font.
One space should be inserted between all punctuation marks used.
Margins should be set one inch for all sides of the paper
All paragraphs must be indented one inch using the set tab from the left side margin of the page.
There should be a Headers on each page (continuously) in the upper right hand corner displaying the page numbers of the essay consecutively (format on headers will be based on what professor required or asked)
If there are endnotes in the paper work, they should be placed on the bottom page, right before your works cited page.
For a more detailed look at the rules and guidelines regarding formats and writing there is one book from MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers (6th edition), and MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarly Publishing (2nd edition). For those who have internet access, all MLA writing style rules can be found on a site built by the people at Owl at Purdue.
Nevertheless, course of the rules will be changed based on what the professor asked or required, and student should strictly followed what professor required them to use and consider.
