Identify the core assignment question/prompt and clean it: remove any rubric, grading criteria, point allocations, meta-instructions to the student or writer, due dates, and any lines that are just telling someone how to complete or submit the assignment. Also remove obviously repetitive or duplicated lines or sentences so that the cleaned instructions are concise and non-redundant. Only keep the core assignment question and any truly essential context.

The remaining cleaned text is the assignment instructions. Use exactly this cleaned text as the basis for the paper.

Let CLEANED be the final cleaned instructions string. Define TITLE as exactly the first 60 characters of CLEANED (including whitespace and punctuation), counting from character 1 to character 60 with no trimming, no rewording, no capitalization changes, and no additions or deletions. Do NOT paraphrase or rewrite these first 60 characters; copy them verbatim.
