The ABSTRACT section should contain an abstract of your research paperall of its main points. (2.) The METHODS and MATERIALS section should be written without reference to self; for example, Most sources came from the Internet except for one on-line database journal article (NOT I found 3 books at the library and I was up till midnight on the Internet.). (3.) Label your thesis a HYPOTHESIS because your solution is not proven or tested but is a prediction. (4.) The prescribed paper format does create redundancy because you restate the same statements over and over again in various sections. I designed it to be redundant, so do not worry. This is OK. Rephrase where appropriate to avoid dull prose (hypothesis excepted; do not change). (5.) More questions?.
