Editing and Proofreading

Formatting essentials

The formatting and presentation of your assignments will differ across departments and faculties. Always check your module handbook for answers to the following questions:

• Ensure your name and/or student number are on your work
• Add page numbers and figure/table numbers
• Do you need a reference list or bibliography?
• Use the specified font size and line spacing
• Is there guidance for headers, footers, or margins?
• Are all sections present, in the right order, with appendices, headings, and subheadings?
• Do you need a title page and table of contents?
