Numbers
Spell out all numbers less than 10, unless the numbers are part of a series of number or the numbers are attached to units of measurement.
Examples:
a) There are six children walking to the play ground.
b) The children were aged 2, 6, 7, 12 and 13 years old.
c) The standard deviations for each group were 3, 4, 8 and 15.
d) Its height and volume is 8 cm and 25 L respectively.
Use figures for quantities of 10 or more.
Example: There are 12 mothers waiting outside the classroom.
Percentage
The symbol % may be used in place of percentage; e.g. 25.5% and typed without a space. If the candidate prefers to use “25.5 percent” in full, then this should be consistent throughout the report.
Equations
Use Microsoft (MS) equation editor or equivalent for all equations. Numbering of equations should be numbered consecutively bearing its chapter number and in Arabic numerals.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Typing and printing
Use MS Word processor or equivalent for typing. Use laser printer for printing text and illustrations on one side of each sheet.
