FEASIBILITY STUDY

WRITING GUIDE
by Angelo C. Penaredonda,MBA
 Introduction

This manual contains the policies and procedures to ensure uniformity in the physical

format of an undergraduate research. Submission of this document is the final step in a

Feasibility subject or its equivalent. Students must be familiar with the guidelines before

writing their paper. The use of correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling are solely the

responsibility of the student/s.

 Manuscript Construction
Appearance

The manuscript must be prepared on a computer, neat in appearance, and without

error. Strikeovers, handwritten corrections, or interlineations are not accepted. Printing

of the thesis should be letter/laser quality with dark black characters that are consistently

clear and dense. The manuscript can be printed on only one side of each page received.

Reproduced copies are acceptable only if high quality photocopying is used.

 Paper
Letter size paper with the appropriate logo/letter head must
be used.

Typeface
Times New Roman is the only acceptable fonts. The same
typeface must be used throughout the manuscript, including
figures, tables, plate captions with the exception of certain tables,
figures and appendix material, which may use a different type.
Italics should be used only to highlight specific words or phrases in
the text. The official font size is 12 point and must be used for
all material in the text.
 Spacing

Double spacing is required throughout the manuscript.

Footnotes, bibliographic entries, long quoted passages, figure
and table captions, and items in lists and tables may be single-
spaced. If individual footnote or bibliographic entries are
single-spaced, there must be double-spacing between each
entry. There are special spacing requirements for some of the
preliminary pages.
 Margins
Margins must be uniform on all pages. Margin requirements apply to all
materials included in the research such as figures, tables, photographs, etc., and all
material in appendices. The margins of the thesis page are:

• 1 inch on the top and bottom

• 1.5 inches on the left
• 1 inch minimum on the right

Page numbers must fall within the margins. Page numbers must be placed in
the top of the page at the right side. The body of the text must be in fully/double
justified with one inch indentation of each paragraph’s first sentence.
 Post-Defense Action
After the Final Oral Defense, the student candidate/s shall do the
following:

1. Revise the manuscript in compliance with the panel members’

comments and suggestions;

2. Submit a copy of the revised manuscript to the adviser for further

evaluation before its final printing and binding; and

3. Submit two (2) hardbound copies of the edited manuscript (final

copy) to the Principal/Director’s Office as final requirements for the
subject.
Parts of Feasibility Study
•Preliminary Pages

• Title Page (Imaginary Page- no page no.)

• Approval Sheet (Page ii)
• Acknowledgment (Page iv)
• Table of Contents (Page v)
• List of Tables (Page viii)
•• List of Figures (Page x)

•Executive Summary (Page xiii)
Title Page
The TITLE for the Feasibility Study is the name of the Project or Product.
Indicate your degree and field and give the month and year of graduation, not the date
of completion of the thesis.
The TITLE should be 3 to 3.5 inches from the top of the page. Type the title of
the FS exactly as it is worded on the Abstract, in upper case letters, centered with single
spacing. If the title runs over one line, it should appear like an inverted pyramid. An
example of the Title Page for FS is shown in Figure 1.
Further, notice that the full legal name of the student appears in bold upper case
letters followed by the month and year when the manuscript is accomplished in
uppercase-lowercase letters observing double space.
