Term paper title page is regarded by many as the most important part of writing, as it is the first thing your supervisor is likely to see. This is the first thing that will make an impression from your whole work.
 
So what do you need to put on your cover page?
 
Actually this information should be given to you by your supervisor. Before writing a term paper title page, consult on the professor’s preferences and follow the rules of this or that style.
 
Usually, the following information is required: your name, school or university name, date of submission, title of your paper, title of your class, and the name of your supervisor.
 
Here you can find some general tips for writing a term paper title page in APA and MLA format:
 
APA format

• term paper title page includes a running head for publication, title, byline, affiliation;
• the first element of a term paper title page is a running head and page number. It has to be in the upper right-hand corner of your term paper title page. This is the way that pages will be numbered throughout;
• in the next line of your term paper title page comes a running head section. This consists of the actual title of the document that comes below the running head. It should be IN ALL CAPS;
• the next section of your term paper title page covers the main title of your document along with your name and the academic institution you are from;

MLA format

• write your name, the name and the number of the course, and your supervisor’s name in the middle of the page, one line after the other;
• do not use a size larger than 18pt for the date of submission, keep it smaller than the title;
• double-space all the lines;
• you can choose the font for your term paper title page. It can be the same as it was in the body of your term paper, or pick up another one – even a fancy font is allowed for your term paper title page if appropriate for the content;
• try to keep the title on one line. If two lines are necessary, break them accordingly to the flow of the phrasing;
• you may insert a picture in a lighter ink on your term paper title page.

Note that these are only general tips for writing a term paper title page. To be 100% sure that your term paper title page is written correctly, consult your supervisor.
