APPENDIX G: ABSTRACT
Separate page, content centered on page, limit of one page

 

[Student's Name]

 

[Dissertation Title (may be underlined or in caps)]

 

[The abstract is double-spaced and limited to 350 words. As many people will learn about your work through your abstract published in Dissertation Abstracts (http://proquest.umi.com/login), you should spend a good bit of effort in the composition of both the abstract and the title of your work. Try to convey the flavor of your work, not just the bare bones of your findings; in an average abstract there will be about 70 characters per line with a maximum of 35 lines. You should also work to phrase your title so that it truly describes the contents and will be easily found in the index of Dissertation Abstracts. The index is based on key words, so be as specific as you can be about your subject.]
