GED 101 - EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND ETHICAL STANDARDS

Place the title three to four lines down from the top of the title page. Center it and type it in bold font. Capitalize major words of the title.

There is a difference between the dedication page and acknowledgement page.

There is an exact process for writing a perfect dedication.

The acknowledgement page is where you thank those who have helped and supported you during the research and writing process.

A list of tables is a reference tool that allows your readers to quickly and easily navigate to data in your thesis. Construction of the list is similar to creating Table of Contents. To save yourself some time in making your List of Tables, be sure that you use font styles.

Use New Times Roman for text in tables. Use size 12 where able, but 10 or 11 size may also be used to fit text within the table. Line spacing within a table should be single-spaced.

Tables should be placed BEFORE the paragraph where they first mentioned. If a table continuous is very large, it can start on the next page after it is mentioned. If your charge is longer than one page, type Table 1 (continued) at the top of the next page and be sure the table headings are repeated.

If your table needs to be rotated because it is too large, rotate just the table at the 1.5" margin side.

List of figures is a required element of a research study.

In writing the List of Figures, the first letter of each word is capitalized.

Bibliography is usually found at the end of a research paper.

Appendices may contain figures, tables, raw data, and other additional information that supports the arguments of your thesis but does NOT belong in the main body.
