THINGS TO NOTE
Title page: Here, the name of the institution is put, the title of the report, the name of
the Author, then the reason for the report (this is why it is required that students add

B.Sc. degree.' Then the date is added.
Declaration Page: The students write a declaration that he/she wrote the project
Certification (Approval) page: The name of the institution and department, then a
statement signifying approval for the work by the supervisor, head of department and
external supervisor. Space is reserved for signatures of all listed parties as well.
Dedication page: This is where the researcher dedicate the research to a deity,
someone, dead or/and alive. This is different from the acknowledgement.
Acknowledgement: The researcher here writes to appreciate all that contributed,
(technical, financial, moral and otherwise) to the success of the research.
Abstract: This is the synopsis of the research work. It is often written last with the
tense in past. Usually less than 100 words summarizing the problem statement, the
methodology employed, the findings, conclusion and recommendations. This should
be in a single paragraph and should not be italicized.
Table of content: The main headings and sub-headings and page numbers are listed.
This allows for easy page identification and reference. The table of content should be
edited at the final stage as well, to correctly capture the reflections in the work.
List of tables/figures/symbols: The list is to aid the reader in locating
tables/figures/symbols. It should contain the tag numbers, tag which reflects the
content and the page numbers. It should be well-numbered and unambiguous. In the
main content, the figure/table should be well-labelled.
Spacing: Line spacing should be 1.5 inch, the margins should be 1.5 inches at the Left side, 1 inch on
the Top, Bottom and Right sides.
After writing, students should painstakingly proofread the whole content for
grammatical and spelling errors. This could be very distracting while reading the
project.
xi
The page numbers are easily distorted by changing font size, type and spacing. The
final submission should be very clear, error-free (to a large degree) and as required by
specified standard.
