olofmaria Posted March 7, 2016 Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Hello!My friends and I are wondering if we should include the prescribed title at the top of the essay or not? We have heard that we shouldn't include any information at all, only the essay but our teacher said to one of my friends that the title shouldn't be on the essay while another one was told it should be. I was just wondering what other people have been told? I don't believe it should affect the grading at all because we fill out a cover sheet where we state which title we picked and the word count, but if it does affect the grading I just wanted to know.Thanks in advance C: Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances are good it won't affect the grading, but essays look nice with a title. Why make the examiner grumpy over something so small? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwich Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I'd include it. The title won't count towards your word count so there's no harm in it. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
