References
Last page – The total number of words should be 3000 words. Spacing between the lines in all pages should be 1.5. I am expecting quality content not quantity. If you are short 10% either way you do not have worry, it is perfectly acceptable but writing 500 pages like CMM is not acceptable and the other hand writing 5 pages like ISO is also not acceptable. You have a fault tolerance rate of 10% either side.

6. I had occasions where students have tried to submit just 2 minutes before the deadline time and were not successful because of the time variance between your computer and university computers. Make sure you do submit with minutes to spare. Lots of factor can come into play like your network, incompatibility of documents you are submitting etc. So give yourselves enough time to be able to overcome last minute firefighting problems. PLAN AHEAD – Quality assurance activities.
