Abstract
-
The Title page, Abstract page and Table of Contents are the opening pages of a dissertation and therefore, essential to create a good impression on the reader.
-
The first page of a dissertation should succinctly summarise your work.
-
The abstract also called as the ‘executive summary’, follows the Title page and Declaration Statement and should encapsulate the essence of the dissertation.
-
The Table of Contents lists the contents contained within the dissertation with pagination helping the examiners and readers to find the information easily.
A stunning first impression was not the same thing as love at first sight. But surely it was an invitation to consider the matter.—Lois McMaster Bujold
