Term Paper Guidelines

All the students will follow the guidelines given below.

           

Length

-          The papers should be 6-8 pages in length.

-          The title page, figures, bibliography (references), and appendices (if any) do not count towards the length of your paper.

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.

Sections

-          Abstract (50-80 words)

-          Introduction

-          Review of related works

-          Description of the problem

-          Conclusion

-          Bibliography

Format

-          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.
