The paper should not be stapled, punched, bound, colored or printed on letterhead. The two additional copies of the dissertation can be photocopied or produced on copier or laser paper. \subsection*\normalsize\emph{Ink} Black ink only is used to print your report. If a graph or photograph contains color, that is fine. Latex is used to help in the printing of formulas. The following formula would be difficult to reproduce in Microsoft Word: \[ \frac{d}{dx}\left( \int_{0}^{x} f(u)\,du\right)=f(x). \] This Report was produced by LaTeX\footnote {\LaTeX\ is a fun typesetting program.} written by Barbara Arnett. Barbara is not an expert with LaTeX, and anyone using LaTeX does not need to use this template. It is simply provided to help with formatting, specifically with page numbers and images. %this subsection heading below will not show up in the table of contents. \subsection*\normalsize\emph{Graphics} Graph paper may be used for original drawings, charts or illustrations. Original drawings may be in color or black and white, however, color is allowed for illustrations only; all text must appear in black. The original thesis must contain the original graphic or illustration, not a photocopy of the drawing, graphic or illustration. If formulas and diagrams contain subscript and superscript characters, ensure they are large enough to read when printed in the final paper. \begin{figure}[htp] \centering \includegraphics{3d-cone.pdf} \caption{3D Cone}\label{fig:3d-cone} \end{figure} Photographs Glossy prints of good reproducible quality, either black or white or color may be used. Photographs can be printed on 8 1/2$''$ x 11$''$ glossy finish paper, however, margin and page number requirements as stated above still apply for pages containing photographs. When attaching photographs to paper, double-sided tape may be used which causes the least amount of damage to the original paper. Graphics that are oriented in a landscape position must be done in a manner that retains the page numbering in the upper right hand corner, as shown in figure 3.2. This can be difficult in Microsoft Word, but it is possible. To do this in Microsoft Word, create a new section, change the page to landscape, and place the page number in a text box. The text box then is rotated on the landscape page. Then begin a new section and resume portrait orientation. \begin{sidewaysfigure} \centering \includegraphics[height=5.0in, width=7.5in]{3d-cone.pdf} \caption{This is an example of a landscape image within a page. Note that the page number remains in the upper right hand corner of the page when the page is in the portrait position.} \end{sidewaysfigure} \chapter{Recommendations} Glossy prints of good reproducible quality, either black or white or color may be used.

When attaching photographs to paper, double-sided tape may be used which causes the least amount of damage to the original paper. The format of footnotes and the bibliography are to be prepared in accordance with standard practice in the field in which one is working. Documentation formatting style must be discussed with and accepted by the advisor. See further information on Reference Styles below. The suggested typeface for dissertations is 10 to 12 point Arial. Other suggested fonts are Times New Roman and Helvetica. Script and italic fonts should not be used except as needed in the body of the paper. Consistency should be maintained throughout the paper, using the same font for all text, diagrams, etc. on all pages. Electronic material, such as CDs and multimedia can accompany the dissertation. Each copy should be accompanied with a labeled CD. When bound, these are placed in an envelope in the back of the dissertation. Oversized materials (pages greater than 8 1/2$''$ x 11$''$) can be included in the paper if necessary. Oversized pages should be folded so that 1$''$ on the left hand binding edge remains, allowing the page to be opened once the paper is bound. The reference style used for formatting the paper must be confirmed with your department and advisor. Frequently used styles are the APA (American Psychological Association), MLA (Modern Language Association) and AMA (American Medical Association) styles. Style guides and manuals are available for each style. Page headers are not to be used. \section{The Focus Group} Glossy prints of good reproducible quality, either black or white or color may be used.
