BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
1
2
From the Thesis Style and Form by E. W. Kollin: “This is written in essay form
and in the third person. It contains the author’s personal data giving the full name of the
author, birth date and birthplace, institutions where the author was educated, dates and
degrees, and honors received. It should not be more than 450 words.”

ACKNOWLEDGMENT
1
2
From the Thesis Style and Form by E. W. Kollin: Only those that directly
assisted in the accomplishment of the work should be included. It should not appear like
a high school slum book with dedication and verses or quotations because a thesis is a
formal report, not a literary piece.
Additional comment: There is really no need to write the name (and affix the
signature) of the author at the end of the acknowledgement.
