SOME NOTES ON THE FRONT SECTION OF THESES AND DISSERTATIONS

The required first three pages of theses and dissertations are as follows: 1. Title page 2. University Permission page 3. Approval page (this is the page where faculty members sign) The first two pages are based on Memorandum No. FRN 15-038 issued by UP Diliman Vice Chancellor for Research and Development Fidel R. Nemenzo, DSc to clarify and revise guidelines for public access to Theses and Dissertations. As the Memorandum indicates, theses and dissertations will be classified into one of only four categories: - I: has patentable or registrable invention or registration - P: author wishes to publish the work personally - C:  confidentia l information of a third party is embedded - F: a regular work, i.e., it has no patentable invention or creation, the author does not wish for personal publication, there is no confidential information. Most theses and dissertations perhaps fall into the F category. If theses and dissertations are classified in any of the other categories, please consult the Memorandum which is included the third chapter of this guidebook.

ABSTRACT

 Include the proper citati on of  your work.

De la Cruz, J.S. (2007). Rhetoric and Riot in Rio de Janeiro, Unpublished Doctoral Dissertation, University of the Philipp ines College of Mass Communication.

This dissertation examines the role of newspaper editors in the political turmoil and strife that characterized late First Empire Rio de Janeiro (1827-1831). Newspaper editors and their journals helped change the political culture of late First Empire Rio de Janeiro by involving the people in the discussion of state. This change in political culture is apparent in Emperor Pedro I's gradual loss of control over the mechanisms of power. As the newspapers became increasingly numerous and powerful, the Emperor lost his legitimacy in the eyes of the people. To explore the role of the newspapers in the political events of the late First Empire, this dissertation analyzes all available newspapers  published in Rio de Janeiro from 1827 to 1831. Newspapers and their editors were leading forces in the effort to remove power from the hands of the ruling elite and place it under the control of the people. In the process, newspapers helped change how politics operated in the constitutio nal monarchy of Brazil.

Your abstract must be 200 words or less. (The text above has 163 words). It must succinctly contain the following: a statement of your problem/s and objectives based on a synthesis of your related literature review and theoretical framework, a short description of your methodology, and a brief discussion of your most pertinent findings and interpretation. If your thesis has a production component, include a concise explanation of how it relates to your research.

ABSTRACT

 Include the proper citati on of  your work.

Andrews, K.T. (1997). 'Freedom is a constant struggle': The dynamics and consequences of the Mississippi Civil Rights Movement , 1960-1984, Unpublished Doctoral Dissertation, State University of New York at Stony Brook.

This dissertation examines the impacts of social movements through a multi-layered study of the Mississipp i Civil Rights Movement from its peak in the early 1960s through the early 1980s. By examining this historica lly important case, I clarify the process by which movements transform social structures and the constraints' movements face when they try to do so. The time period studied in this dissertation includes the expansion of voting rights and gains in black political power, the desegregation of public schools and the emergence of white-flight academies, and the rise and fall of federal anti-poverty  programs. I use two major research strategies: (1) a quantitative analysis of county-level data and (2) three case studies. Data have been collected from archives, interviews, newspapers and published reports. This dissertation challenges the argument that movements are inconsequential. Indeed, some view federal agencies, courts, political  parties, or economic elites as the agents driving institutional change. Typically these groups acted in response to movement demands and the leverage brought to bear by the civil rights movement. The Mississipp i movement attempted to forge independent structures for sustaining challenges to local inequities and injustices. By propelling change in an array of local institutions, movement infrastr uctures had an enduring legacy in Mississippi.

K. SAMPLE LISTS The following examples serve as a guide for the look of your lists of tables, matrices, and figures (which includes charts, illustrations, pictures, and other graphics). In your actual document, begin a new page for each list. Make sure that the titles in these lists are the same as those in the body of your document. Also, number all your tables consecutively using Hindu-Arabic numerals without decimal places (E.g. 1, 2, 3 and not 1.0., 1.1., 1.2.) . Details for the titling of tables and other collaterals are in Section IV. In creating thes e lists , insert a three-column table and label each column accordingly. The first column has a width of 0.75” while the third column has a width of 0.5”. Single-space titles, but put a double space between titles.

N. SUBHEADS

I. INTRODUCTION

The chapter must be labeled with the appropriate  Roman numeral and title, in all caps.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. The first-level subhead must be centered and labeled with the appropriate letter in caps.

A. The First Subhead

This is the only subhead that appears in the Table of Contents (TOC). It mus t be the same as the one in the TOC.

Sed ut perspiciatis unde omnis iste natus error sit voluptatem accusantium doloremque laudantium, totam rem aperiam, eaque ipsa quae ab illo inventore veritatis et quasi architecto beatae vitae dicta sunt explicabo. Nemo enim ipsam voluptate m quia voluptas sit aspernatur aut odit aut fugit, sed quia consequuntur magni dolores eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt.

The second-level subhead must be centered, italicized, and labeled with the appropriate

 Hindu-Arabic numeral.

 Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptate m. Ut enim ad minima veniam, quis nostrum exercitationem ullam corporis suscipit laboriosam, nisi ut aliquid ex ea commodi consequatur? a. The Third Subhead

There mus t only be three levels of subheads to prom ote readability. The flush-left third-level subhead is labeled with a lowercase letter.

Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate velit esse quam nihil molestiae consequatur, vel illum qui dolorem eum fugiat quo voluptas nulla pariatur?

O. SAMPLE TABLES

 Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum quia dolor sit amet, consectetur, adipisci velit, sed quia non numquam eius modi tempora incidunt ut labore et dolore magnam aliquam quaerat voluptatem.  Extra doubl e space before a table.

Table 2. Profile of Respondents (N=365) Gender Male Female

 Number tables consecutively usin g Hindu-Arabic numerals.  Separate Table Numbers from the Table Title Titles must be concise and italicized. Ensure that titles are the entered the same way in the TOC. “N” indicates total sample size.

Age 21 to 34 35 to 57  Notes:

Instructions: 1. Consolidate similar data in one table with spanner heads, as shown in the example. Column heads and spanner heads (e.g. Gender) must be centered within the cell, while row entries must be flush left. 2. Single-space the table. Include an extra double space before and after the table. 3. Figures must be aligned right, then centered in the cell. Distinguish percentage figures from frequencies through a single decimal place. 4. Do not compute percentages for sample sizes where the units of analysis number less than 100. Use either raw frequencies or proportions. 5. Include notes on the last merged row of the table. Examples of notes include sources, multiple response items, among others. 6. Place a table immed iately after the paragraph in which it is first cited. If it does not fit on the page where it is first cited, place it on the immediately succeeding page. Remember that since tables are visual aids, they must be located after they are cited. In other words, the discussion must precede the table.
