General Guidelines

Number of Copies

You will need to bind at least two official copies of your Internship Report. Submit one bound copy to your major professor and the other to Dr. Bechert. A local copy shop, such as B&J Books or Fed-Ex Kinko’s in Corvallis, can bind your report using any type of binding method.

Paper, Font and Spacing

The Internship Report must be printed on standard size, white, 8-1/2 x 11 inch paper. Use single line spacing throughout and print on only one side of the paper.

Use regular, unadorned print (e.g., New Times Roman or Arial), 10-12 point size for text. Scientific names of genera and species should be underlined or printed in true italics.

Margins

Every page of the internship report must be kept within a minimum margin of 1-1/2 inches (for binding purposes) on the left side of the page; 1 inch at the right side; 1-1/4 inches at the top and bottom of the page.

Pagination

All pages except the title page should be numbered. This includes full-page photographs, charts and graphs, the bibliography, and appendices. For the pretext pages, use small Roman numerals (ii, iii, etc.). Page i is the abstract page, but the page number is not printed on this page.

The first item on the Table of Contents list should be the Abstract. This will be followed by the title page, the approval page and any dedication or acknowledgment section you may wish to include. This is numbered in the small Roman series, with the page numbers displayed. The remainder of the internship report is numbered with Arabic numerals (1, 2, etc.).

The page numbers that are displayed must be centered at the bottom of each page, within the bottom margin.
