Printed thesis

Process

1. Make a final pass to make sure that everything in correct and complete:

   • Spell-check, grammar check everything
   • Title page with:
     • Title (<= 60 characters)
     • your name
     • adviser’s name

     • the following text

       Senior Thesis in Computer Science Middlebury College May 2015
   • Abstract
   • Acknowledgements
   • Table of contents with accurate page numbers
   • Table of figures (optional) with accurate figure numbers
   • Bibliography
   • All citation numbers in the text are accurate
   • All figure numbers in the text are accurate
   • Appendix (optional) with code, results, etc.

2. Get archival quality paper from Amy Rose

3. Print TWO copies on archival paper. It’s your choice whether you want to print single or double-sided. The latter saves trees, the former makes your thesis look fatter. (I’d say if you have more than 50 pages it’s a good idea to print double-sided.) Find a good printer with plenty of toner. If you want, print any pages with color figures on a (good) color printer (also on the archival paper). Make sure all the pages are in the correct order. These two copies will be bound; one stays in the department, the other will be shipped to you later this summer.

4. Submit both copies to the department by 2pm on Monday 5/18.

5. Please provide your mailing address when you drop off your thesis copies. We will need this address to mail your final bound copy to you. This will happen around August.

6. If you want, you can hand in a third copy of your thesis, which we will put in a black binder and put on the bookshelf in the MBH 632 lab. The idea is that the theses in the lab are easier to access than the fancy red ones in the glass cabinet. This may prove useful for future thesis students. If you do (totally optional), simply print out an additional copy (single or double-sided - your choice) and give it to us when you submit your archival copies.

7. Submit a .pdf copy on Moodle

8. Submit the Online Thesis Form including a .pdf or .doc file of your final thesis to the Middlebury College Digital Repository.
