How do I format my assignments?
Refer to the specifics of your discipline by looking through your subject's Unit Guide. However, here are the basics:
- Use size 12 font
- Use times roman, normal font
- Use at least 1.5 line spacing and double that between paragraphs- there is, therefore, no need to indent your paragraphs
- Bold your size 12 font headings
- Provide page numbers in the footer
- Provide at least your student ID number in the header or footer
- Provide a title page
- In some disciplines, your lecturers will also prefer you to type the assignment title at the top of the first page
- Provide a list of references on a separate page at the back of your assignment but before appendices.
If you would like a copy of WordTricks, a guide to inserting page numbers, line spacing, indenting, and so on, and a sample assignment format, send a request to offcampus@calt.monash.edu.au.
