This Is a Word Document That Contains Examples of Some of the Required Sections of a Thesis

This is a Word document that contains examples of some of the required sections of a thesis or dissertation. The document has the following settings, which should match those in your thesis or dissertation:

Layout > Margins: Top, Bottom, and Right 1", left 1.5"

Styles: styles are an efficient way to format text in a Word document. If you need to change the way a particular type of text is formatted, and if all examples of that type of text are assigned to the same style, then changing the style will automatically change the formatting of all of the text. Word has a number of default styles. In this document some of those styles are formatted to meet the style guidelines in the USU Publication Guide.

In the sample pages that follow various styles were created to match the styles recommended in the Publication Guide.

Cover Page

COVER TITLE: Use this for the thesis or dissertation title on the cover page. [all upper case, Times New Roman 12 pt font, centered, double spaced, page break before]

Cover Text 1: Use this for the text between the title and the signature section. Insert extra line spacing as needed. [Times New Roman 12 pt font, centered, single spaced]

Cover Names: Use this for the signature section. [Times New Roman 12 pt font, single spaced, left indent at 0.2", left tab at 3.3" for right column]

Cover Institution: Use this for the last three lines of text. Insert an extra line after 'Logan, Utah' and before the year. [Times New Roman 12 pt font, single spaced, centered]

Copyright Page

Copyright 1: Use this for the first line of text. [240 pt before, to leave blank space above this line, Times New Roman 12 pt font, centered, double spaced, page break before]

Copyright 2: Use this for the second line of text ('All Rights Reserved'). [Times New Roman 12 pt font, centered, double spaced]

Abstract Page

ABSTRACT: Use this for the first line of text ('ABSTRACT'). [Times New Roman 12 pt font, all upper case, centered, double spaced, page break before]

Abstract text: Use this for the title through the line naming the institution. [Times New Roman 12 pt font, centered, double spaced]

Abstract advisor: Use this for the Major Professor and Department lines. [Times New Roman 12 pt font, single spaced]

Body Text: Use this for the Abstract text. [Times New Roman 12 pt font, ragged right, double spaced] (this is also the style to use for the main text in the body of the document)

Acknowledgment Page

CHAPTER: Use this for the first line of text ('ACKNOWLEDGMENTS'). [Times New Roman 12 pt font, all upper case, centered, double spaced, page break before]

Body Text: Use this for the Acknowledgments text. [Times New Roman 12 pt font, ragged right, double spaced] Note: right justify your name

chapter I

Use the 'CHAPTER' style for the chapter number. This style is: 12 pt Times New Roman, double spaced, centered, all upper case, with a page break inserted before the text (to start each chapter on a new page).

chapter title

Use the 'CHAPTER TITLE' style for chapter titles. This style is: 12 pt Times New Roman, double spaced, centered, all upper case.

Subeading1 short

Use the 'Subheading 1' style for the first level of subheadings and if the heading fits on a single line. This style is: 12 pt Times New Roman, double spaced, left justified, keep with next (so that the text following the subheading is not separated from the subheading). Use of bold text for these headings is optional.

Subheading 1 long - for the first level of subheadings that are too long to fit on a single line, and which thus have to extend to a second line

Use the 'Subheading 2' style for the first level of subheadings and if the heading is too long to fit on a single line. This style is: 12 pt Times New Roman, double spaced, centered, keep with next.

Body Text: Use this style for the main text in your document. In this example, the style is double spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman font, no extra spacing before or after paragraphs, 0.5" indent for first line, ragged right margin.

ABSTRACT

The Influence of Social Support on the Stress Levelof Parents with Disabled Children

by

Shannon J. Pratt, Master of Science

Utah State University, 1992

Major Professor: Dr. Richard N. Roberts

Department: Psychology

The example above shows the correct arrangement of the abstract display area. Triple space between ABSTRACT and the title. Double space between multiple lines of the title, which should be typed in inverted pyramid form. Triple space before and after the word by. Double space between the line for the author and degree, and the line for the university; triple space after the latter. Single space between the line for the major professor and the line for the department, then triple space before beginning to type the text of the abstract. Center all lines except the major professor line and the department line. Capitalization must follow the example shown here. Program may be substituted for Department if the degree is from an interdepartmental program.

An abstract is a summary, not an introduction. It should give a complete overview of the thesis/dissertation and should be written principally in the past tense. It may not exceed 350 words.

Type the total number of pages for the thesis/dissertation (including all preliminary pages) flush with the right margin.

(123 pages)

PUBLIC ABSTRACT

The Influence of Social Support on the Stress Level

of Parents with Disabled Children

Shannon J. Pratt

The Public Abstract should be a description of the research that is written in terms that can be understood by someone who does not have special expertise in your field.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to thank Dr. Karl White for making available to me the Early Intervention Research Institute’s (EIRI) data set for the research in this thesis (contract #300-85-0173). I would especially like to thank my committee members, Drs. Richard Roberts, Keith Checketts, and Lani Van Dusen, for their support and assistance through- out the entire process.

I give special thanks to my family, friends, and colleagues for their encouragement, moral support, and patience as I worked my way from the initial proposal writing to this final document. I could not have done it without all of you.

Shannon J. Pratt
