**Assignment title must be the same as the actual assignment title, not assignment 1, etc..

Do not include any other information on the cover sheet.

• Use these margins: top = 2.3", left = 1.5"
• Use single space
• Leave sufficient space so that the second column does NOT appear in the envelope window.
• A tab set at 4 inches from the left margin should accomplish this.
• Use Times Roman or Arial fonts
