COURSE TITLE: RESEARCH PROJECT
COURSE CODE: POL-625
CREDIT HOURS: 06
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE RESEARCH REPORT:
As part of Four Years BS (Hons) in Sociology, students are required to complete a thesis
under the supervision of a supervisor or faculty member, who has a related scholarly interest. The
thesis is seen as a capstone experience for majors in that it allows them both to explore research and
analytical skills that they have learned earlier and to develop these skills with direct application. In
addition, in the process of research and writing, the student develops new skills for the analysis that
grow out of the first-hand research tasks. Finally, the thesis process allows the department to assess
how well it is doing in preparing students for critical and creative thinking, and for professional or
allied careers using their major.
The topic of thesis research is chosen in consultation between the student and the faculty.
Hands-on empirical research is encouraged, sometimes using available data sets -- including those
developed through the surveys carried out in the Research Methods course in the department -- and
sometimes requiring the full initiation and carrying out of data gathering in the form of a survey,
participant observation project, content analysis or other research method.
Format Guidelines for Four Years BS in Political Science Research Report:
Arrangement of dissertation.
Each thesis must be arranged in the following order. Italicized pages are optional.
2. Signature Page Include this page in the pretext page count, but do not place a page number on it.
3. Title Page Include this page in the pretext page count, but do not place a page number on it.
4. Dedication and/or Epigraph. Include this page in the pretext page count, but do not place a page
number on it.
lxxxii
5. Acknowledgements and/or Preface. Begin placing pretext lowercase Roman numerals at the
bottom of this page, counting all preceding pretext material except for the fly page. Page numbers
are centered one inch from the bottom of the page.
6. Abstract Continue pretext page numbering with lowercase Roman numerals.
7. Table of Contents. Continue pretext page numbering with lowercase Roman numerals.
8. List of Tables. Continue pretext page numbering with lowercase Roman numerals.
9. List of Figures. Continue pretext page numbering with lowercase Roman numerals.
10. List of Illustrations/Maps/Slides. Continue pretext page numbering with lowercase Roman
numerals.
11. Text. All pages from the first page of text through the Vita are numbered consecutively in Arabic
numerals, beginning with Arabic numeral “1” on the first page of the thesis or report text.
12. Appendix.Continue page numbering with Arabic numerals.
13. Glossary.May, instead, be placed after the Table of Contents in the area with the Lists of Tables,
List of Figures, etc. Continue page numbering with Arabic numerals.
14. Bibliography. Other possible titles are “References” or “Works Cited.” Continue page
numbering with Arabic numerals.
PAGE FORMAT AND LAYOUT
a. Font
A single font must be used throughout the thesis, the only exceptions being in tables, graphs, and
appendices. Headings may be bolded and no more than 2 points larger than the rest of the text.
lxxxiii
b. Margins
All theses and reports must have consistent margins of at least 1.25 inches at the top, bottom, left,
and right edges of the page. Page numbers must be placed at least one inch from the bottom of the
page. Margins which are larger than those required are acceptable, but smaller margins are not.
c. Spacing
The thesis or report must be double-spaced or 1.5-spaced. Single spacing may be used only in the Table
of Contents, footnotes and endnotes, charts, graphs, tables, quotations, captions, glossary, appendices,
and bibliography. Prose quotations over three lines long should be in block quote, double or single-
spaced, and indented on the left. Do not use quotation marks in the block quote except when indicating
quotations within the block quote.
d. Numbering of Pages
Beginning with the first page of the Acknowledgements or Preface, if used, all preliminary pages
preceding the actual text must be numbered in lowercase Roman numerals; e.g., iii, iv, v, etc. These
numerals must be centered under the text with at least one inch of space between the number and the
bottom of the page. If no optional pages are used, the page numbers must begin on the Abstract. Do
not number the copyright page, signature page, title page, or dedication, but do include each of them
in the pretext page count. The first page of the text begins at Arabic numeral 1. All pages within the
text must contain an Arabic page number, bottom-centered, at least one inch from the bottom edge
of the page. The first page of every major section (chapters, appendices, bibliography, Vita, etc.)
must begin on a new page.
e. Tables and Illustrations
Pages carrying illustrative material must be given page numbers appropriate to their place in the
document. Illustrative material may not be inserted after the document has been numbered and given
numbers such as “10a.” All tables, figures, illustrations, and other types of examples included and
referenced in the text of the dissertation should be numbered for identification. There should be no
duplication of these numbers; i.e., no two tables should be assigned the same number. Figures may
be numbered in one of two ways: consecutively throughout the document (Table 1, Table 2, Table
3, etc.), or double-numbered so that illustrations’ numbers reflect their locations in the document
(Figure 9.3 is the third figure in Chapter 9, or Figure A2 is the second figure in Appendix A.)
Captions and legends must be placed on the same page with the figure, graph, table or illustration
they describe. In order to fit both figure and caption on the same page, captions may be single-spaced,
margins may be decreased to one inch, and figures may be reduced in size to fit. If the figures are
reduced from their original size, then the page number must be added after the reduction so as not to
alter its size. If there is no other way to manage the amount of material to be shown, the caption and
figures should be side-by-side in continuous view. This method should only be used in the rare
lxxxiv
instance where all of the pertinent material will not fit on the same page. Figures, captions, and page
numbers must be easily readable when the electronic document is viewed at 100 percent.
Footnotes and Bibliography
A Bibliography, or Reference, section must immediately precede the Vita at the end of the thesis or
report, even in theses where chapter end notes have been used. Bibliographies may be omitted only
in wholly original theses such as novels or musical compositions. The bibliography must include
materials used including the edition, if not the first, so the citation can be readily verified. Footnote
citations must be sufficiently exact to enable the reader to find the source with ease. Any standardized
form for footnotes and bibliography approved by your supervisor is acceptable if followed
consistently. Several useful manuals for selecting a footnote/bibliography format include the
Chicago Manual of Style.
Copies required:
All students who successfully accomplished writing up dissertation are required to submit at least
four copies in hard and one copy in soft to the supervisor or chairmen or head of department.
Viva voice:
For a student to be eligible for the award of BS (Hons) in Political Science, it is necessary and
compulsory element and requirement for his/her dissertation assessment to appear before a panel of
internal supervisor and external examiner for a viva voice.
