5.Pagination
Each page must have a number designation, though numbers may be at center at the bottom of the page and
pages of chapter heading if the student prefers. All pages must be numbered consecutively as follows:
Lower-case Roman numerals (i.e., i, ii, iii, iv, v, vi, etc.) are used for preliminary pages. The numerals
appear at the right bottom of the page, approximately above the bottom.
Arabic numerals (i.e, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.) are used for the body of the thesis/project. The numerals appear
in the right bottom corner of the page, approximately up from the bottom and in from the right
margin.
Appendices and the bibliography or reference list should be numbered consecutively with the rest of the
report.
6.Caption of figure & tables.
Caption of figure and table should be provided at the bottom of the table and diagram. Captions should be
italicized and should be at the center. Figure and table numbers should be in tune with the chapter numbers
(e.g. the first figure of the chapter I should be numbered as Fig.1.1, first figure of chapter II should be
numbered as Fig. 2.1 and so on.
7. Style

Clear, simple language should be used.

When an ordinary word is used in a technical or special sense, explain its meaning briefly.
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.
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.
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)

8.Guard Sheets
A blank white page (Preferably thick) must be placed at the beginning and end of the report.
