 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Purpose of acknowledgements page is to show appreciation to those who contributed in

conducting this seminar/Seminar/dissertation work / other tasks and duties related to the
report writing. Therefore when writing acknowledgements page you should carefully
consider everyone who helped during research process and show appreciation in the order of
relevance. In this regard it is suitable to show appreciation in brief manner instead of using
strong emotional phrases.
In this part of your work it is normal to use personal pronouns like “I, my, me” while in the
rest of the report this articulation is not recommended. Even when acknowledging family
members and friends make sure of using the wording of a relatively formal register. The list
of the persons you should acknowledged, includes guide (main and second), academic staff in
your department, technical staff, reviewers, companies, family and friends.
You should acknowledge all sources of funding. It is usually specifically naming the person
and the type of help you received. For example, an advisor who helped you conceptualize the
Seminar, someone who helped with the actual building or procedures used to complete the
Seminar, someone who helped with computer knowledge, someone who provided raw
materials for the Seminar, etc.

 ABSTRACT

Most important component of report/seminar is to write abstract. Presented at the beginning

of the report, it is likely the first substantive description of your work read by an external
examiner/reader. You should view it as an opportunity to set accurate expectations. The
abstract is a summary of the whole seminar work.
It presents all the major elements of your work in a highly condensed form. An abstract often
functions together with the Seminar title, as a stand-alone text. An abstract is not merely an
introduction in the sense of a preface, preamble, or advance organizer that prepares the reader
for the report.
In addition to that function, it must be capable of substituting for the whole report when there
is insufficient time and space for the full text. The final version of the abstract will need to be
written after you have finished reading your report for the last time. However, if you think
about what it has to contain, you realize that the abstract is really a summary of your seminar
work.
Your abstract should answer specific questions: What was done? Why was it done? How was
it done? What was found? What is the significance of the findings?
Abstract should be one paragraph only and should not exceed 15
lines.

should not be same as base paper architecture. Explanation of each and every block is
expected.
