Title and subtitle 

The title of the assignment is the first thing to meet the reader, and therefore it sets the stage for the assignment. 

Your assignment must have a title. The title should be on the front page of your assignment. It should be relatively short, but still describe the assignment topic as precisely as possible. You may add a subtitle to give a clearer indication of the focus of the assignment. 

Be creative 

Depending on the type of assignment, it is often allowed to be creative. The title should attract the reader’s’ attention and make them want to read on. Spend some time to look for eloquent, funny, provocative or catchy statements, headings or wordings in your assignment, and consider whether there is inspiration for a good title in your text.
