FORMAT
The font for the text of each paragraph in your research should be Times New Roman and size 12. Do not
indent the first line of each paragraph and each paragraph should have single spacing. Justify your paragraph to
see a clean look of the content. Page numbering should start from 1 from this chapter.
Chapter titles or section headings should give the reader a clear indication of the content that follows. Chapter
titles should be centered and bold. Sections may be bold; first level must use title capitalization or ALL CAPS;
second level should be in title or sentence capitalization - not all caps. Third level headings should be in
sentence capitalization.

Introduction introduces the research by situating it (by giving background), presenting the research problem and
saying how and why this problem will be solved. Without this important information the reader cannot easily
understand the more detailed information about the research that comes later in the thesis. It also explains why
the research is being done (rationale) which is crucial for the reader to understand the significance of the study.
CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURES
In terms of a literature review, "the literature" means the works you consulted in order to understand and
investigate your research problem.
The literature review is a critical look at the existing research that is significant to the work that you are carrying
out. Some people think that it is a summary: this is not true. Although you need to summarize relevant
research, it is also vital that you evaluate this work, show the relationships between different works, and show
how it relates to your work. In other words, you cannot simply give a concise description of, for example, an
article: you need to select what parts of the research to discuss (e.g. the methodology), show how it relates to
the other work (e.g. what other methodologies have been used? How are they similar? How are they different?)
and show how it relates to your work (what is its relationship to your methodology?).
Keep in mind that the literature review should provide the context for your research by looking at what work
has already been done in your research area. It is not supposed to be just a summary of other people's work.
Here are some of the questions your literature review should answer:
1. What do we already know in the immediate area concerned?
2. What are the characteristics of the key concepts or the main factors or variables?
3. What are the relationships between these key concepts, factors or variables?
4. What are the existing theories?
5. Where are the inconsistencies or shortcomings in our knowledge and understanding?
6. What views need to be (further) tested?
7. What evidence is lacking, inconclusive, contradictory or too limited?
8. Why study (further) the research problem?
9. What contribution can the present study be expected to make?
10. What research designs or methods seem unsatisfactory?

REFERENCES
Referencing (also called citing or documenting) your sources mean systematically showing what information or
ideas you are quoting or paraphrasing and where they come from. You are entitled to use someone else's words,
ideas or information in your work - and in fact you have to do so - but you must show that they are not your
own by indicating their source.
The References section is a list of all works the writer has cited or referred to in the text. A Bibliography is a
list of works the writer read or consulted but did not cite directly in the text. Use whichever is appropriate. As
always, consult your advisor if you are unsure. Do not CAPITALIZE or boldface the author’s name.
APPENDICES
Appendices follow the list of references. Number or letter appendices and give each a title as if it were a
chapter.
