My MLA Handbook is old, but I think this still applies:\n\nA research paper does not need a title page. Instead beginning one inch from the top of the first page and flush with the left margin, put your name, your instructor's name, the course number, and date on separate lines. Double space between lines. Double space again and center the title. Double space twice bwetween the title and the first line of the text.

a bibliography is a list of all the sources you referenced in your writing, whether or not you actually quoted them or not. a works cited is a list of all the sources you actually quoted in your writing. the format should be the same, but it depends on what you are supposed to use. There is MLA format, or APA. These two styles depend on how you actually cite the information in the paper itself. \nDepending on what you need to use, there's www.apastyle.net, or http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_mla.html for MLA.

There is only one APA style (maybe your opponent was thinking of the AP style for journalists)--however, there is more than one edition of the style manual.  If you're using APA, you'll need the most current edition.

Are you talking about the bibliography, or list of works cited in the paper?  If so, use MLA style (MLA stands for Modern Language Association).  You can find the MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers or the smaller EasyWriter book at a bookstore.  \n\nThe entries are listed alphabetically, and all lines except the first are indented.

Tips for Writing an Argumentative Paper\n\nDr. Dyson’s tips for writing the \nARGUMENTATIVE RESEARCH PAPER\n\n1) By definition, an argumentative paper must have a THESIS. Your goal is to persuade your reader of a particular interpretation, not to describe a subject textbook-style. Be sure that you know and make clear to your reader what your point is. \n2) Avoid colloquialisms and very long paragraphs unless you have some pressing need for them (laziness does not count). \n3) Do not use subject headings: this is an argument, not a textbook. \n4) Do not just plunk down quotations: discuss them. This is important. Though often difficult, analyzing texts is the heart of scholarship. In general, long quotations should not end a paragraph. \n5) Footnote clearly, making it obvious what is your original contribution and what is not. \n6) Include a title page at the beginning and a list of "Works Cited" at the end. \n7) Cite ancient works by parenthetical references within the text, not by footnotes: e.g., (Iliad 10.45-53), (Aen. 6.112-23), (Suet. Aug. 44). Most ancient poetic works have book and line numbers, while most ancient prose works are divided into numbered sections. DO NOT refer to ancient works by page number within the translation unless there is no other way (as when translators, irresponsibly, neglect to give line or section numbers). Be sure to list the translations you use in your "Works Cited." \n8) Number your pages, starting with the first page of the text (not the title page). The length requirement given means text + footnotes; the list of works cited should be numbered but does not count for length (e.g. it would be page 11 of a 10-page paper). Staple the pages once in the upper left-hand corner. Do NOT use a folder. \n9) Indent and single-space quotations longer than 4 lines. \n10) Master The Elements of Style, the best guide to writing English prose. (If nothing else, obey this command: "Do not join independent clauses by a comma." I HATE comma splices.) Treasure this gem from the Introduction: \nVigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.\n11) On bibliography: in general, \n- A few well-chosen sources are better than many ill-chosen ones. \n- Look first for things published recently and by major presses. \n- Journal articles are the life-blood of scholarship in many fields. Put in your interlibrary loan requests early (expect at least a 2-week delay). \n- Secondary literature should be used to stimulate your thinking and alert you to the issues other scholars have found important. The main focus should be your own analysis of primary evidence.\n12) Read the paper aloud once you have finished. Never write a sentence you would be ashamed to say. And remember, good writing is rewriting what you have already rewritten.\n\nClick this website for more information that might be helpful;\nhttp://home.att.net/~profmulder/ESSAY.htm\n\nTopics for Writing\n\nBioethics ethics in Life Sciences \nAssisted Suicide \nGenetic Research \nComputing Issues the social implications \nIntellectual Property & Piracy \nCybercrime and Privacy \nConstitutional Issues our rights under the Constitution \nGun Control \nThe Death Penalty \nSocial Concerns quality of life \nAnimal Rights\nGambling\nGay Marriages \nEducation Issues our public schools\n         Testing to Improve Educational Standards\n         School Choice - charter schools & vouchers\n         Intercollegiate Athletics and Ethics \n\nI got these suggestions from this website;\nhttp://www.gc.maricopa.edu/English/topicarg.html\nIf you go to this website you can click on the topic you like and get information about that

Always follow their guidelines.)\n    * Use either underlining or italics throughout your essay for highlighting the titles of longer works and providing emphasis.\n    * If you have any notes, include them on a page before your works cited page and format them the same way as your works cited list.\n\nFormatting the first page of your paper\n\n    * Do not make a title page for your paper unless specifically requested.\n    * Provide a double-spaced entry in the top left corner of the first page that lists your name, your instructor's name, the course, and the date.\n    * Create a header that numbers all pages consecutively in the upper right-hand corner, one-half inch from the top and flush with the right margin. (Note: Your instructor or whoever is reading the manuscript may ask that you omit the number on your first page.
