The heading TABLE OF CONTENTS is capitals is centered at the top of the page.

Two spaces below this the heading page appears at the right margin. Acknowledgements, List of Tables page appears at the left margin. Chapter headings are typed in full capitals without terminal punctuation and numbered consecutively in roman capitals.

Sub headings are normally indented two spaces under the main headings and the initial letter of the first word and of all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs and verbs being capitalized.

Sub-division of sub-headings is further indented two spaces.

The final table of contents cannot be prepared until the entire final draft of a report or thesis is typed.

THE GENERAL FORMAT

There are a number of format specifications, which the writer should follow in presenting a thesis or assignment. These specifications allow the writer to encompass his own natural contribution within a conventional framework, which is both logical and sequential. By following stringent format requirement the writer can systematically format and structure his own thinking in terms of theme, unity and clarity. From the beginning the student should aim at the production of a piece of work of high quality. The text should be free of errors and untidy corrections Paper of standard size and good quality should be used (Preferably A4 size & Executive Bond) From the early stage, the student should be aware of the regulations of the institution concerning the submission of thesis Also the student should note the requirements relating to the number of copies to be submitted (3 bound), the method of binding (hard board), colour (Blue) of the hard board paper for the cover, and the lettering which should appear on the spire and front cover. Page and Chapter format Chapter divisions and subdivisions For the interest of readability and ease of reference the chapters of project are usually divided into sections and subsections.

Chapter division and subdivision formation depends in the number of such divisions to be made.

The kinds of headings employed include centered headings, side headings and paragraph headings.

Each chapter has a chapter number and chapter heading. Conventionally, centered headings are used for major division and side and paragraph headings for subdivisions.

Chapter headings.

Every chapter begins in a new page. This applies even if the last page of the preceding chapter has only two or three lines.

Chapters are identified by a number and a title. Chapter number is typed in capitals and roman numerals with no punctuation. It is centered horizontally two inches from the top of the page.

The chapter title is also typed in capitals with no punctuation. It is centered horizontally one double space below the chapter number.

Three single spaces below the chapter title is the next heading or the first line of text.

Centered headings Centered headings are used for major chapter divisions. The centered heading is centered horizontally on the page and typed in lower case except for the initial letter of key words. Three single spaces separate the centered heading from text from other headings above and below. Side headings Side headings, if used with centered headings, indicate chapter subdivision; if used without centered headings, side headings indicate major chapter divisions. The side heading is typed flush with the left margin and underlined and not normally numbered. Lower case lettering is used except for the initial letter of key words. Three single spaces separate the side heading from text above and one double space from the text below. Paragraph headings Paragraph headings are normally used to indicate divisions within subdivisions. It is typed in lower case, ended with a period, and separated from the text above by three single spaces.

A note regarding headings

All headings should be captions not sentences. Each should be brief, yet informative, a statement rather than a question Heading should not be essential for continuity. Spacing, Pagination and Margins. The body of the text is normally double spaced, though longer theses sometimes use 1 spacing. For quotation, footnotes, tables and Figures and appendices, different spacing are outlined. There are two separate series of page numbers.

The preliminaries are numbered with small roman numerals and they normally appear at the bottom of the page without punctuation, centered, and are positioned one inch from the bottom of the page.

All other pages beginning with the first page of chapter I and including bibliography, appendixes, and pages of tables and figures are numbered with Arabic numerals.

The margin recommended at the left of the page is 1 inches which allows for binding. Margins of 1 inches at the top and bottom of the page give a balance appearance to the whole. References. These are very important. Your report should be sufficient to indicate to the reader what you have done, what you found out AND provide enough information for them to repeat the work if they so wished. You will have made us of information from a variety of sources. There are generally three types of reference according to the source, journal, article, book, and web site.

Book. You need to cite title, authors, date published, edition (if not first), City of publication and publisher. e.g. Elements of Nuclear Physics W. E. Burcham, (London) Longman, 1979.

A journal article, The speed of light by interferometry A. Dixon, Journal of Light, vol. 3, pp. 123-234, 2003.
