I have read online that a research statement should follow an essay format.
However, I am having a hard time transitioning from my introductory paragraph into my main body paragraphs. So, I was wondering if it would be possible to section my essay as follows:
Would this be acceptable, or should I re-work my essay to not include headings?
Since I am writing about 3 pages, I feel like headings help clearly identify the topics that will be discussed and generate white space to make the paper easier to read.
Also, is there specific paper formatting I need to follow? (Double space vs. Single etc.?)
Thank you for your input, I highly appreciate it !
Edit:
I am writing this as part of my application to a MASc. in Civil Engineering. I will be submitting it along with my application to the University (Canada). The university I am applying to does not have any particular outline/format to follow.
