I'm writing a group paper and I was wondering whether there's a correct way to list multiple authors at the top of the first page in MLA format. Normally the header would look something like:

    My Name
    Instructor's Name
    Course Name
    12 February 2013

But if there's three of us, should it be something like:

    Group Member 1, Group Member 2, Group Member 3
    Instructor's Name
    Course Name
    12 February 2013

Or should they be separated by semicolons? Is there even any standard to follow at all? If our group had a name I'd use that, but it doesn't.
