Chapter 4: Results

The results section of your thesis presents the important or representative research data that you collected (detailed data is often given in the appendix or on a CD/DVD attached to the back of the thesis).

• Correctly measured results that cannot be readily explained or do not agree with the general trend of the remaining results must be included.
• Present data in one form only, i.e., do not present data in a table if they are already provided in the text.
• Every table and figure must be cited in the text and should appear immediately following the first reference to it in the text.
• Do not use phrases such as: "it is clearly shown that", "it is obvious that", or "any fool can see that", as such phrases insult the reader's intelligence.
• Do not present your results in a such a way that causes the reader to question the importance of the results; eliminate ambiguity.
