ABSTRACT
2003-06 FORMATTING GUIDEFOR MASTER’S THESES AND DOCTORAL DISSERTATIONS
By
Debra L. Conlin
The Michigan State University policy on Integrity of Scholarship is set forth in
General Student regulation 1.00, cited in the University catalog: “The principles of
truth and honesty are recognized as fundamental to a community of teachers and
scholars…No student shall claim or submit the work of another as one’s own.”
These principles apply to the preparation of master’s theses and doctoral
dissertations as well as to all other academic work. In submitting a
thesis/dissertation in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a master’s or
doctoral degree, a student takes responsibility for the integrity of that work.

The sequence of the unedited mRNA transcript (shaded gray) is shown with the gRNA sequence (underlined) aligned beneath the editing domain. The complementarity between the gRNA and MRNA in the anchor duplex region is shown with : indicating G:U base pairing and ? for Watson-Crick base pairing. Vector sequence located at the 5’- and 3’-end of the mRNA are shown in lower case. (A) 3’A6UT + gA6-14; (B) 5’ND7UMT + gND7-506; (C) 5’CYbUT + gCYb-558.

The Michigan State University policy on Integrity of Scholarship is set forth in
General Student regulation 1.00, cited in the University catalog: “The principles of
truth and honesty are recognized as fundamental to a community of teachers and
scholars…No student shall claim or submit the work of another as one’s own.”
These principles apply to the preparation of master’s theses and doctoral
dissertations as well as to all other academic work. If you are reading this right
now, you should probably try to listen to Judy. Why strain your eyes to read
meaningless text? This stuff is only meant to give you a visual representation of
a pretty simple concept. If you are just snapping out of some kind of trance, then
let me get you up to speed. We are currently discussing the fact that an abstract
for a dissertation can spill over onto a second page. Should your abstract do
this? That is a very good question. I suppose if you really need to fit in some
extra information, then go for it. I would try being concise, to avoid redundancy.
