Part One:
PROCEDURE AND GUIDELINES FOR
SPECIAL PROJECT / THESIS / DISSERTATION PREPARATION
A. Academic Requirements
A student in thesis preparation must have been admitted to candidacy for a degree and
must have passed a comprehensive examination, if the program so requires.
1.
2.
The comprehensive examination, if the program so requires, shall aim to test the
students ability to integrate and apply the knowledge that has acquired in the program of
study. The areas/subjects covered shall be prescribed by the program.
B. Advisory Panel
1.
The Advisory Panel, when created, is a group of qualified graduate faculty members
who guide the student in writing his/her thesis/dissertation/special projects. With the
approval of the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies, the Program Coordinator, who
may consider the students preference, appoints the members of the Advisory Panel which
comprises (a) the students thesis/dissertation adviser; and (b) at least two other members
for masters programs; or at least three other members for doctoral programs, one of
whom is an off-campus member.
An off-campus member is one who is not associated with MSU-IIT. He/She may be a
faculty member of any reputable academic institution, e.g., UP, DLSU, ADMU, MSUMarawi and its other external campuses, and must be Ph.D or doctorate holder. He/She
may likewise be an expert who is working in non-academic institutions, e.g., industries,
companies, and the like.
SGS FORM 1: NOMINATION OF MEMBERS OF ADVISORY PANEL must be filled
out and submitted for this purpose.
2.
The Thesis/Dissertation adviser shall be the chairperson of the Advisory Panel. The
adviser for a masteral thesis must preferably be a Ph.D or doctorate degree holder. and
must have written a masteral thesis and/or a doctoral dissertation. A holder of a non-thesis
masters or doctoral degree cannot be a thesis/dissertation adviser. In the case when the
9
adviser for a masters thesis is not a Ph.D or doctorate degree holder, then it is strongly
advised that a co-adviser who is a Ph.D or doctorate holder must be appointed. The
adviser is preferably a faculty member of MSU-IIT.
In the case when an off-campus adviser is chosen, a co-adviser who is a faculty
member of MSU-IIT must be appointed. If the adviser is unable to enter the grade of the
student at the end of the semester, the co-adviser, through consultation with the adviser,
must be authorized to do so. The co-adviser receives the same honorarium as the adviser.
3.
All other members of the advisory panel, except the off-campus examiner/adviser,
must be graduate faculty of MSU-IIT.
4.
The composition of the advisory panel may be changed when there is a strong reason
necessitating the change, such as change of research topic, disability or prolonged leave
of absence by any member of the panel; a strained working relationship between panel
members, or between the adviser and the student; and the like, and only upon approval by
the Program Coordinator and the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies
.
SGS FORM 2: REQUEST FOR CHANGE OF ADVISER / PANEL MEMBER must
be filled out and submitted for this purpose.
5.
The Advisory Panel may eventually, but not necessarily, become the Oral
Examination Panel. The Oral Examination Panel is a group of qualified faculty members
who sit in during the defense of the student, suggests and recommends revisions if
necessary and decides on the outcome of the defense and grade of the student. Although,
it is highly recommended that for purposes of continuity, members of the Advisory Panel
will eventually be the same members in the Oral Examination Panel.
C. Proposal
1.
2.
SGS FORM 3: APPROVAL FOR PROPOSAL HEARING must be filled out by the
student and submitted for this purpose.
3.
The Advisory Panel makes written comments, suggestions, and approves the proposal
using SGS FORM 4: APPROVAL OF PROPOSAL.
Note: A student doing a special project should consult his adviser/panel for presentation
of his proposal and consequent approval thereof. Student need not fill out any form associated
with the proposal defense of the special project, nor pay any proposal defense fee.
10
E.
1.
2.
The student registers for the Special Project/Thesis/Dissertation course during the
regular registration period for each semester while preparation is in progress, and
particularly in the semester in which the oral examination for the Special
Project/Thesis/Dissertation is to be conducted and in which the student is expected to
graduate. This enrolment entitles the student at least eighteen hours of tutorial sessions
with the adviser. The student assumes the responsibility of arranging the sessions with
his/her adviser.
3.
4.
5.
In principle, the proposal hearing and the final oral examination should not be
conducted in the same semester. This is to give sufficient time for the student to
incorporate the suggestions of the Oral Examination Panel and to ensure the quality of the
research paper.
Pursuant to Special Order No. 1061, Series of 2012 (Enhancing Graduate Research
and Advising to Graduate Students at the School of Graduate Studies), all MA and MS
students are required to present a substantial portion of their theses and special projects
before they are finally defended for degree.
2.
All PhD and doctorate students, on the other hand, are required to present a
substantial portion of their dissertations in a national or international conference. They
are required to submit a certificate of participation to the SGS office as a proof of their
attendance and presentation in the conference.
3.
All graduate students are strongly encouraged to publish their research in peerreviewed national or international journals, preferably ISI accredited.
11
F.
1. The Oral Examination Panel is created when the formal work on the thesis as proposed is
completed. It may or may not be composed of the original members of the Advisory
Panel. In the case of oral examination on a dissertation, at least one off-campus examiner
(a graduate faculty from outside the campus, or an expert in the field of specialization
working in non-academic institutions) shall be included as additional member of the
examination panel. This brings to a total of four members, adviser included, in the oral
examination panel for a doctoral program.
2. The Special Project/Thesis/Dissertation adviser shall be the Chairman of the Oral
Examination Panel; however, he/she is a non-voting member.
3. Should an off-campus examiner be included in the Oral Examination Panel, the Program
Coordinator shall obtain the approval of the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies. If
the nominated examiner is accepted, the adviser shall write a letter of invitation to the
examiner. The letter should be noted by the Dean. The off-campus examiner shall receive
the regular honorarium for members in the panel, as approved by BOR.
4. SGS FORM 5: NOMINATION OF MEMBERS OF ORAL EXAMINATION PANEL and
SGS FORM 6: APPROVAL FOR FINAL DEFENSE are filled out and submitted to SGS
together with a copy of the draft of the special project/thesis/dissertation at least one week
before the expected date of oral examination. Each member of the examination panel is
also provided a copy of the draft at least one week before the oral examination.
5. Members of the Oral Examination Panel or the Program Coordinator may give written
comments before a Special Project/Thesis/Dissertation defense may be scheduled.
6. The Special Project/Thesis/Dissertation must show evidence of the students capacity for
sound research and must be a worthwhile contribution to knowledge.
7. The research is expected to be in good scholarly style and must be a distinct contribution
to knowledge. It must show the authors ability to carry out a study and to organize
results expressed in good literary style.
8. Following general acceptance of the format, style and readiness of the Special
Project/Thesis/Dissertation, the oral examination is scheduled. A notice of the oral
examination, together with an extensive/expanded abstract of the study, in an A4- sized
bond paper, are posted for public scrutiny and information. This must be done at least one
week prior to the oral examination date. The members of the examination panel together
with the date, time and place of the oral examination must be clearly stated. Display is
placed preferably at the lobby of the College in which the program is offered.
12
The student must be registered in the appropriate semester during the final defense of
the Special Project/Thesis/Dissertation. An oral examination fee must be paid at the
Cashiers Office. (Refer to the current fee scheme of the School of Graduate Studies)
2.
The oral examination on the completed Special Project / Thesis / Dissertation is open
to the public and shall be conducted by the Oral Examination Panel.
3.
At the end of the oral examination, the examiners shall submit a rating on the
students performance using SGS FORM 7: ORAL EXAMINATION REPORT and SGS
FORM 8: PANEL ORAL EXAMINATION REPORT to the School of Graduate Studies.
4.
The Dean of the School of Graduate Studies shall notify the student of the rating
he/she has received in the oral examination, together with the revisions, if any, required in
the Special Project/Thesis/Dissertation.
5.
A student will be disqualified from the program in case of a failure at a second try in
the oral examination. However, the student may be awarded a certificate of completion of
academic units.
6.
I.
1.
The student incorporates the required revisions and submits the revised copy to the
members of the Oral Examination Panel for approval.
2.
SGS FORM 9: APPROVAL FOR BINDING must be accomplished before the student
can reproduce copies of the manuscript for binding.
3.
No other pages may be added to the manuscript after it has been approved and
returned to the student for reproduction and binding.
A bound copy of the approved manuscript, plus three (3) copies of an abstract (300 to
500 words), three copies of the research paper in a journal article form, and three (3)
CDs containing the electronic files of the manuscript and the abstract shall be submitted

SAMPLE FORM 4: ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT
The study of the impact absorption of a grid-designed chipboard material is carried out. A
rig is designed and fabricated for the experiments. The experiment involves impact and
deformation measurement with variable load at constant height.
All test specimens are made of a square grid-designed chipboard material measuring 20
cm by 4 cm. There are six types of specimens each having 4, 6, 8, 10, 22 and 34 pieces of 20 cm
4 cm chipboard material, respectively. The materials of each specimen are assembled in a
square grid pattern.
There are two groups of specimen: Group I Specimen 1 to 6 without a glue in its joint
and Group II Specimen 1 to 6 with glue at the top and bottom portion of the joints. A total of
150 test specimens without glue and 60 specimens with glue are used in the experiment.
The results show a trend with regards to impact, deformation and type of specimen at
varying loads. Of the six specimens tested, whether glued or not, specimen 4 (thirty sixth grid) is
considered the best based on the maximum impact absorption and minimum deformation
characteristics.
The study recommends to continue exploring the possibility of evaluating and testing
the impact absorption capability of materials other than chipboard and using loads greater than
2.5 kg and a height greater than 10.16 cm

CHAPTER 4
4.1
Bacterial isolates: Bacillus spp. 1 and 2 and Chryseomonas sp. 2 which were known to
absorb heavy metal species from the previous study (Singh, 2011) were re-purified using the
standard techniques in microbiology. The purified bacteria have the same physical characteristics
based on the references chart for determination of cultural characteristics of isolates (Appendix
A) as in the previous study. Tables 4.1 to 4.3 list the observed cultural characteristics of this
research as against that previously characterized.

All the observed cultural characteristics are similar with that obtained in the previous
study. These suggest that the re-purified bacteria are the same bacteria that were used in the
previous study and in this research. Digital photographs of the purified bacterial isolates of this
research are shown in Figures 4.1 to 4.3. All the featured characteristics as observed in this study
are exactly the same with that observed in the previous study. The results confirm exactly that
the bacterial strains used in this study were the same with that of the previous study.

SAMPLE FORM 12: REFERENCES

The APA Citation Style
The APA citation style refers to the rules and conventions established by the American
Psychological Association for documenting sources used in a research paper. APA style requires
both in-text citations and a reference list. For every in-text citation there should be a full citation
in the reference list and vice versa.
I.
In APA style, in-text citations are placed within sentences and paragraphs so that it is
clear what information is being quoted or paraphrased and whose information is being cited.
Examples:
1. Works by a single author
The last name of the author and the year of publication are inserted in the text at the appropriate point.
..from theory on bounded rationality (Simon, 1945)
If the name of the author or the date appear as part of the narrative, cite only missing information in parentheses.
Simon (1945) posited that..
2. Works by multiple authors
When a work has two authors, always cite both names every time the reference occurs in
the text. In parenthetical material join the names with an ampersand (&).
..as has been shown (Leiter & Maslach, 1998)
In the narrative text, join the names with the word "and."
.as Leiter and Maslach (1998) demonstrated
When a work has three, four, or five authors, cite all authors the first time the reference
occurs.
Kahneman, Knetsch, and Thaler (1991) found.
78
In all subsequent citations per paragraph, include only the surname of the first author followed by "et al." (Latin for "and others") and the year of publication.
Kahneman et al. (1991) found ..
3.
The names of groups that serve as authors (corporate authors) are usually written out each
time they appear in a text reference.
. (National Institute of Mental Health [NIMH], 2007)
When appropriate, the names of some corporate authors are spelled out in the first reference and abbreviated in all subsequent citations. The general rule for abbreviating in this manner
is to supply enough information in the text citation for a reader to locate its source in the Reference List without difficulty.
..(NIMH, 2007)
4.
When a work has no author, use the first two or three words of the work's title (omitting
any initial articles) as your text reference, capitalizing each word. Place the title in quotation
marks if it refers to an article, chapter of a book, or Web page. Italicize the title if it refers to a
book, periodical, brochure, or report.
..on climate change ("Climate and Weather," 1997)
..Guide to Agricultural Meteorological Practices (1981)
Anonymous authors should be listed as such followed by a comma and the date.
..on climate change (Anonymous, 2008)
5.
To cite a specific part of a source (always necessary for quotations), include the page,
chapter, etc. (with appropriate abbreviations) in the in-text citation.
..(Stigter & Das, 1981, p. 96)
..De Waal (1996) overstated the case when he asserted that "we
seem to be reaching ... from the hands of philosophers" (p.
218).
79
If page numbers are not included in electronic sources (such as Web-based journals),
provide the paragraph number preceded by the abbreviation "para." or the heading and following
paragraph.
.(Mnnich & Spiering, 2008, para. 9)
Order: Entries should be arranged in alphabetical order by authors' last names. Sources
without authors are arranged alphabetically by title within the same list.
Authors: Write out the last name and initials for all authors of a particular work. Use an
ampersand (&) instead of the word "and" when listing multiple authors of a single work.
e.g. Smith, J. D., & Jones, M.
Titles: Capitalize only the first word of a title or subtitle, and any proper names that are
part of a title.
Pagination: Use the abbreviation p. or pp. to designate page numbers of articles from periodicals that do not use volume numbers, especially newspapers. These abbreviations are
also used to designate pages in encyclopedia articles and chapters from edited books.
Indentation*: The first line of the entry is flush with the left margin, and all subsequent
lines are indented (5 to 7 spaces) to form a "hanging indent".
Underlining vs. Italics*: It is appropriate to use italics instead of underlining for titles of
books and journals.
REFERENCES is used instead of BIBLIOGRAPHY for the list of works cited.
Entries are double-spaced .
Two additional pieces of information should be included for works accessed online.
Internet Address**: A stable Internet address should be included and should direct the
reader as close as possible to the actual work. If the work has a digital object identifier
(DOI), use this. If there is no DOI or similar handle, use a stable URL. If the URL is not
stable, as is often the case with online newspapers and some subscription-based databases, use the home page of the site you retrieved the work from.
Date: If the work is a finalized version published and dated, as in the case of a journal article, the date within the main body of the citation is enough. However, if the work is not
dated and/or is subject to change, as in the case of an online encyclopedia article, include
the date that you retrieved the information.
The APA has special formatting standards for the use of indentation and italics in manuscripts or papers that will be typeset or submitted for official publication.
80
Examples:
1.
References to periodical articles must include the following elements: author(s), date of
publication, article title, journal title, volume number, issue number (if applicable), and page
numbers.
1.1
4. Books
References to an entire book must include the following elements: author(s) or editor(s),
date of publication, title, place of publication, and the name of the publisher.
4.1. No Author or editor, in print
Merriam-Webster's collegiate dictionary (11th ed.). (2003).
Springfield, MA: Merriam- Webster.
82
5. Dissertations
References for dissertations should include the following elements: author, date of publication, title, and institution (if you accessed the manuscript copy from the university collections).
If there is a UMI number or a database accession number, include it at the end of the citation.
5.1. Dissertation, accessed online
Young, R. F. (2007). Crossing boundaries in urban ecology:
Pathways to sustainable cities (Doctoral dissertation).
83
6.
References for encyclopedias must include the following elements: author(s) or editor(s),
date of publication, title, place of publication, and the name of the publisher. For sources accessed online, include the retrieval date as the entry may be edited over time.
6.1. Encyclopedia set or dictionary
Sadie, S., & Tyrrell, J. (Eds.). (2002). The new Grove
dictionary of music and musicians (2nd ed., Vols. 1-29).
84
6.3
Encyclopedia article
7.4.
8.
Audio-visual media
References to audio-visual media must include the following elements: name and function of the primary contributors (e.g., producer, director), date, title, the medium in brackets, location or place of production, and name of the distributor. If the medium is indicated as part of
the retrieval ID, brackets are not needed.
8.1.
Videocassette/DVD
87
9.
For content that does not easily fit into categories such as journal papers, books, and reports, keep in mind the goal of a citation is to give the reader a clear path to the source material.
For electronic and online materials, include stable URL or database name. Include the author,
title, and date published when available. For undated materials, include the date the resource was
accessed.
9.1. Blog entry
Arrington, M. (2008, August 5). The viral video guy gets $1
million in funding. Message posted to
http://www.techcrunch.com
88
When citing an entire Web site (and not a specific document on that site), no Reference
List entry is required if the address for the site is cited in the text of your paper.
Witchcraft In Europe and America is a site that presents the
full text of many essential works in the literature of
witchcraft and demonology

Statistical Interpreter
The ANOVA table decomposes the variance of the data into four components: a component due to the
differences between levels of velocity, a component due to differences between levels of length of sides, a component due to
interactions between velocity and length of sides, and a residual component.
F-test has been run to determine which factors are statistically significant. The following factors have P-values
below 0.05 and thus correspond to statistically significant effects. These effects are velocity, length of sides and interaction.
