All
published works
must be neatly written in blue or black ink (not black and blue ink) or typed (preferably typed). For those of you who elect to type your work, you are to use a font with a serif, such as Courier or Times New Roman. Do not use "fun" fonts, such as Geneva or Calligraphic fonts, because they are difficult to read over prolonged periods of time. Also when you type your piece use 12–point type, anything larger is unacceptable– unless specifically noted your writing will be evaluated on the quality of its content, not on the quantity (amount).
Whether your document is handwritten or typed paragraphs should always be indented. This is easily accomplished when using a word processor. See that tabs are set at .5" (about five spaces).
Your paper's heading should look like the one on this handout, excepting that all words in
italics
should be replaced with the appropriate information, and you may choose to abbreviate the school's name MBA instead of writing it out in full. Additionally it is of utmost importance that the date in your header accurately reflects the day on which your work is submitted.
The title of your work should be centered. The body or main text should align left, as do the title and body of this handout. This handout is a model for how published writing should look. When titling your own work do not use italics, quotation marks, or underlining.
Published works should be free of corrections. The use of correction fluids (white–out and liquid paper) and proofing/editing marks should be reserved for the earlier stages of the writing process (i.e. drafting, revision, and editing). Your published writing is your presentation piece and should reflect all of the hard work and care that you have put into your writing throughout the process.
