    This should list in sequence, with page numbers, all sections of the project from objectives to
    Appendices.
    7. List of Tables & Figure

    their own numbering sequence.
    8. Objectives
    A clear & conclusion statements of the major objective of the work should be given.
    9. Introduction

    10. Methodology

    the methods used for the collection and analysis of relevant data / information.

    1
    11. Findings
    Presentation & analysis of the salient information, which has been gathered in order to test the
    hypothesis. This section will vary considerably in both length and content depending on the nature of the
    topic. It may include models or systems constructed by the student as a result of the investigation.
    Significant features of the findings must be clearly indicated. Raw data, if appropriate, should be
    presented in Appendices.
    12. Analysis finding 13. Conclusions 14. Recommendations

    This section should also include your conclusions recommendations and suggestions for the further

    convention detailed as follows:

    abbreviations may be used, Volume number (issue number if possible): pages.

    For example:
    Articles - Drucker, P (1984), Managing the Computer, Management Today, 9(7): 35-42
    Bryan, FL Smith, JD McKinley TW (1980), Hazard analysis of Frozen

    N.B. When the author is not stated, use Anon or the name of the organization responsible for the
    publication.

    16. Annexures
    This includes Questionnaire, Address of the contacted persons, Company literature, Product literature etc.

    General guidelines on presentation:


    1. Pagination
    All pages including tables, etc. and appendices, should be numbered consecutively throughout the
    project.

    2. Section Heading
    It is often helpful to use section headings within a chapter such as the introduction. The hierarchy and
    system of numbering chapter section headings should be consistent.

    3. Table & Figures


    Where these are used, they should, as far as possible, be given the same margins as a page of text and
    bound in the project as near as possible to the relevant passage. Material which cannot be bound in this
    way should be contained in a pocket inside the back cover. Tables and figures should be numbered
    separately in the order of their presentation.

    4. Referencing
    The following system must be consistently throughout the dissertation:
    When a reference is made to a book or article, the author’s surname should be given with the date of
    publication in brackets, e.g. Richards (1978) has expressed the view that master strategy is a vital but
    neglected component. Alternatively, the author’s name and date may be given in brackets after the
    reference, e.g. (Richards, 1978).
    Where referencing journals or newspaper articles, quote the name of the journal if the author is unknown.

    5. Quotations
    If a quotation from any source is included, it must be correct to the last comma & quotation marks must
    indicate exactly where the quotation begins and ends. At the ends of the quotation, which should be
    indented from the main text and single-spaced, the author, date of publication and page reference must be
    given, as follow:
    “ The research findings suggest that style alone is not the answer to effective leadership” (Handy, 1976, p
    93).
    3
    6. Abbreviations
    Only recognized abbreviations should be used and each should be given in brackets, on the first occasion,
    e.g. Department of the Environment (DOE).

    7. Style
    (a) Clear, simple language should be used.
    (b) When an ordinary word is used in a technical or special sense, explain its meaning briefly.
    (c) A general rule for numbers in the body of the text is that, up to ten, they are expressed in words
    (one, six) and above ten in figures (124, 1,762). However, ‘one hundred’, ‘five thousand’, ‘ten
    million’ etc. are expressed in words.
    (d) Use paragraphs as an aid to developing an argument. As a rule, paragraphs are often about one
    third to half a page in length. Within each paragraph it should be clear to the reader where the
    literature search ends and your own original work begins.
    (e) The project should normally be written in the past tense using the third person singular (e.g. “a
    questionnaire was sent to all, equal authority leisure departments” rather than “ I sent
    questionnaires to……”):
