Cover pages (title page, copyright page, abstract) are NOT numbered.

All prefatory pages are numbered continuously using lower-case Roman numerals (i, ii, iii...) centered at
the bottom of the page.

All other pages, including the main body of the dissertation, references, bibliographies and appendices, are
numbered continuously using Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3...), starting from the number "1". These page
numbers should be centered at the bottom of each page, however, if you have formatted your dissertation
according to the previous guidelines, placing the Arabic numerals at the top right corner of each page, we
will still accept your dissertation deposit.

Please note that any page that contains a large chart, graph or image that has a "landscape" orientation
must still include a page number in the same location as all other pages. This page number should be
placed so that, if the page is rotated to a "portrait" orientation, the number appears centered at the bottom.
These individual pages may then be oriented "landscape" within your PDF file if you wish, to make them
easier to read.

Font

Any legible serif or sans-serif standard font may be used, as long as it is equivalent in scale to 10pt. Arial or
12 pt. Times New Roman. Script or ornamental fonts should not be used. The font should be uniform
throughout the text, although a separate font or a slightly smaller size may be used for footnotes, tables,
graphs or appendices, pagination, the abstract, and the table of contents. All fonts must be embedded in
the PDF file.

STYLE

PLEASE FOLLOW THE HARVARD STYLE OF REFERENCING. A PDF GUIDE IS ENCLOSED. Basically
when you refer to you text, at the end of the sentence, give within brackets the last name of the author,
year of publication of the text, page number like (Heath, 1984, p.78). If in case you do not know the year of
publication because you do not have the title pages of the text please try to google and find out the year of
publication or write to the teacher you provided you with the Xerox copy to give you the year.
Title page

In the title of your dissertation, use full proper names of people, organisms, places, etc. For example: "Rajan Kurai Krishnan," not
"Rajan K Krishnan"; Spell out abbreviations, and use word substitutions for formulae, symbols, Greek characters, etc. For example:
"Triassic," not "Tr."; "carbon dioxide," not "CO2"; "first," not "1st"; ". Use italics for the titles of other works or for the scientific name
of an organism. (TITLE PAGE MODEL IS ENCLOSURE ONE)

Copyright page

The copyright page should immediately follow the title page. Centered at the bottom of an otherwise blank page, there should be
three lines, substituting your own name and the year the manuscript was completed:

2014
Immanuel Sadat Hasan Gandhi All rights reserved

Abstract

The abstract page(s) should immediately follow the copyright page. At the top of the page should be the following header,
substituting your own name and the title of your dissertation:

ABSTRACT

Comparative Study of Camera, Pen, Brush and the Body Immanuel Sadat Hasan

Gandhi

The abstract itself follows below. It should be double-spaced, and there is no word limit. An ideal length will be between 300 to 400
 words. Do not include diagrams, images, abbreviations, or formulae in the abstract.

The abstract should not have a page number, and is not counted toward the page count of your prefatory pages.

2. List of diagrams, visuals etc.

A description of the diagram or visual and the page in which it appears.
3. Acknowledgements
(You may describe all the help you have received in support of your study and research; please avoid terms of praise when
referring to individual faculty members; they look awkward in a dissertation).
4. Dedication page is necessary only if you want to dedicate the thesis to someone in your personal life (it will not make much
sense to dedicate it to Von Gogh or Heidegger). It should be done in the middle of the page like the title page with some simple
expression like Dedicated to xxxx and xxxx for inspiring me to continue studies.
