Title Page

-          Include the following on your title page: title of paper, your name, your Roll Number, System Id, the course name (with course code) and year.

-          The title page does not count as one of your pages in terms of the length of the paper.

-          Use 12 point times New Roman font (use template).

-          Use 1.5 spacing, with no extra spaces between paragraphs or headings.

-          Staple your paper in the upper left corner. Use transparent plastic covers/folders to keep the paper.

-          Number your pages. Do not put in the page numbers manually.

-          Use justified alignment for your paper.

Proofreading

-          The bare minimum is the spell/grammar check in your word processing program.

-          Excessive spelling/grammatical errors will cause a grade reduction.

References

-          Do not include excessive quotations – try to put things into your own words (they still need to be cited, though). The point is for you to learn something, not for you to copy what someone else said about a topic. If you find you must put a quote in your paper that is more than 3 lines long, do cite it at the end as you would any other quote.

-          References must be either in chronological order or in alphabetical order. Do not mix the two.

Abstract

             An abstract is a fifty to eighty word summary of your paper that appears at the beginning of the paper. By reading the paper any one should be able to understand that what is the objective  of the paper and what technical aspects has been presented.

1. Introduction

The introduction should define the problem you are studying, discuss the history of the problem and state its importance in the field. Also, applications of the problem can be discussed. Students are also encouraged to present all the basic examples to illustrate the concepts, using figures if possible. All the basic terminology related to the topic should be defined and explained.

In the introduction, and throughout your paper, it is most important to cite the sources of your information. Sources may include textbooks, magazine or newspaper articles, web sites, and journal articles.

2. Review of related works

In some cases, you may need to divide the introductory material in your paper into two sections. Oftentimes, a second section called the “Background” section is used. In the Background section, additional terms are defined and more historical information, such as previous results and a review of related papers is given. It is in the Introduction and Background sections that you must ensure that your reader understands the problem and the terminology as well as show the reader that you have done your homework, in terms of your library work.

 3. Description of the problem

4. Conclusion

It is common to include a conclusions section to summarize the content of your paper, discuss future directions, and state any open problems. The conclusion should be between fifty to two hundred words.

Bibliography

1. Author names, Title of Book/Research paper, Volume/Edition No, Page number, publisher Name, Year of Publications
