Essays: Standard Essay Formatting

Standard Essay Formatting

This is my essay. I am writing an essay here, and this is it. This is just an essay to show you how an essay should be formatted. There should be no headers or footers unless you were given specific instructions to include them. No dates, names, etc... again, unless you were informed to add them. 

Each paragraph should be several sentences long, and shouldn't look sparse. Don't say things to fill the page, say what you mean and get to the point. Expand upon your topics, and add opinion if opinion is due. Do not use smiley faces, slang, or cursing. Capitalize what needs capitalizing, and use a spell checker if need be. 

Do not add any extra formatting. Do not bold, or italicize, or underline. Do not change the font's color, or the background color. Do not add anything that shouldn't be here. Stick to the guidelines, stick to the assignment instructions, and don't waste my time and my assistants' time by writing work that we will have to skip over.

This is the standard essay format for all of the classes that you will attend. Yes, you have to write essays.
