BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 1 2 From the Thesis Style and Form by E. W. Kollin: “This is written in essay form and in the third person. It contains the author’s personal data giving the full name of the author, birth date and birthplace, institutions where the author was educated, dates and degrees, and honors received. It should not be more than 450 words.”

!

v

ACKNOWLEDGMENT 1 2 From the Thesis Style and Form by E. W. Kollin: Only those that directly assisted in the accomplishment of the work should be included. It should not appear like a high school slum book with dedication and verses or quotations because a thesis is a formal report, not a literary piece. Additional comment: There is really no need to write the name (and affix the signature) of the author at the end of the acknowledgement.
