You will present this information in the form of an APA formatted bibliography. A bibliography is a list of sources (books, journals, Web sites, periodicals, etc.) one has used for researching a topic. Bibliographies are sometimes called “References” or “Works Cited” depending on the style format you are using. A bibliography usually just includes the bibliographic information (i.e., the author, title, publisher, etc.).Please use the resource below to correctly format your sources.

Summary: At the beginning of your Thesis, I want you to provide a summary of your research problem, findings, and solution. Your summary shouldn’t exceed 1 page. Acknowledgements: Is there anyone you would like to acknowledge in your Thesis? Is there someone who inspired you to research the topic you choose, or supported you through out the research process? Is there someone you just want to acknowledge as influential in your pursuit of higher education? If not, it’s okay. If so, here is a link to a sample acknowledgement: http://www.ece.northwestern.edu/~mya671/Acknowledge.htmTable of Contents: At the beginning of your thesis, I want you to include a table of contents. The Table of Contents (TOC) is an organized listing of the chapters and major sections of your document. Readers will immediately be able to see how your Thesis is organized and then skip down to sections that are most relevant to them. A clear, concise, and well formatted TOC is the first indicator of a good research paper. Your table of contents should follow this order: Chapter 1: Purpose and Significance of Study Chapter 2: Review of Literature Chapter 3: Methodology Chapter 4: Findings
