Essays: numbered headings or no numbered headings

Question

Should I use numbered headings and subheadings in an essay?

Answer

No, typically it is not correct to provide numbered heading and subheadings in an essay. You can provide headings and subheadings to help structure your essay but typically these should not be numbered. You should check with your university for what their official guidance states, but if there is no guidance provided you should avoid using numbering for headings and subheadings.
