will often come in the following order:

3. 3P A G E
qYour title page may include a brief yet clear title for the project, name and address of
the funding body, project dates, and amount of funding required.

making their final recommendations. The key elements abstracts state are:

Ø methods,
Ø and significance.

problem.

get feedback from several independent readers on different drafts by starting the
