Frequently Asked Questions:
答:而你的委员会和教授是内容问题的最佳资源, UWF有一个优秀的写作实验室，位于51楼，用于撰写论文或论文的更多技术方面. “Labbies”是训练有素的学生，他们可以帮助你学习句子结构, general grammar, and mechanics, documentation, and format. 他们为UWF的研究生安排了2小时的课程或逐章阅读. These sessions can be conducted in person or virtually. For more information, check out their Thesis/Dissertation Readings page.
A: The UWF Graduate School has developed a UWF Thesis and Dissertation Guide 这应该可以回答你关于文档格式和内容的大部分问题. Different academic disciplines, however, might have some slight different demands, especially when it comes to documentation of your sources. The Thesis and Dissertation Guide will give you what the Graduate School requires for overall format, 但是满足文档风格要求的最佳来源是委员会主席或顾问. *Ed.D. 学生可以通过Canvas论文课程获得一个模板.
A: Absolutely. However, even if you choose to submit your document early, it should be in pristine condition, with minimal errors in the writing and formatting. The Thesis and Dissertation Coordinator is not a copyeditor. 如果你论文的前10%-15%在语法、格式、结构等方面有明显的错误., the reading will be suspended and the document returned for revision. 这将使您的重新提交排在队伍的后面，并可能进一步推迟审批过程.
A: No. Because the defense might reveal areas for revision, 在你完成所有部门的步骤之前，你不应该向研究生院提交你的论文, including the defense of your thesis or dissertation. When your defense is complete, 您的委员会主席将通过MyUWF中的动态表格启动适当的验证.
答:一篇论文或论文未经批准就被退回给学生的最常见原因是不准确, missing, or incorrectly formatted documentation. 包括文本引用和书目条目(参考文献、引用作品等).)必须能够相互对话，并且格式正确. If the dates, 作者或标题不匹配，或者来源出现在文档正文中而不在参考文献列表中(反之亦然), that inconsistency can reflect poorly on the credibility of the study.
文件被退回给学生修改的第二个原因是语法和力学错误过多. Students are encouraged to seek the help of the UWF Writing Lab 或专业编辑，然后提交文件供研究生院最终批准.
如果存在一般格式问题，文档有时会未经批准返回, but these are often quick and easy to fix. Be sure you follow the guidelines presented in the UWF Thesis and Dissertation Guide.
A: In a standard sentence, the Oxford comma appears after the second-to-last item in a list, before "and." It is also known as a "serial" comma. 是的，您必须使用它来消除列表元素之间的任何混淆.
For example:
With the Oxford comma: Today, I had lunch with my roommates, John, and Marcia. (In this sentence, 演讲者和几个人一起吃午饭——几个室友，还有约翰和玛西亚.)
Without the Oxford comma: Today, I had lunch with my roommates, John and Marcia. (在这个句子中，说话者只和两个人一起吃午饭，而这两个人恰好是他的室友.)
A: If you add a photograph or figure (graph, chart, etc.)，你必须得到许可才能转载. 通常，你可以通过电子邮件联系原始项目的出版商并请求许可. Start early. Don't wait until the last minute to request permission. it can take some time for publishers to respond. 将您的确认/许可电子邮件作为论文或论文的附录.
答:在iThenticate中的相似度分数意味着你的文档有一定比例与在iThenticate的搜索数据库中找到的其他文档相似. Often, 研究的语言是相似的，因为大多数论文或学位论文都遵循类似的格式. iThenticate可能会标记“研究的意义”或“方法”等项目，因为它们几乎出现在每一份研究文件中.
If, however, less formula-oriented text has been flagged, 确保你没有在没有引号和括号的情况下从原文中借用语言. 通读你的报告，排除任何可能的意外抄袭. 在与论文协调人分享之前，进行更正并重新提交您的文档到iThenticate. Do not wait for the thesis coordinator to find such errors for you.
