 ABSTRACT

Abstract is a summary of the whole Practical Training report. The abstract should have
summary of every chapter in the report. This abstract then need to be translated to
Bahasa Melayu in the next section (Abstrak). The abstract should not exceed 500
words and is written in one (1) paragraph only. Generally, the contents of abstract in
English tend to have less words than the contents for Abstrak in Bahasa Melayu.
ABSTRACT SHOULD BE THE LAST THING TO BE WRITTEN IN EVERY
REPORT. Starting to write a report from abstract means that the report will never
finish.

 CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1. Introduction

This Practical Training Guideline serves as a guide for Practical Training students to
correctly format their Practical Training Report. Many students face difficulties in
properly apply the desired formatting as provided in the previous Practical Training
Guideline, thus an updated Guideline and Template is created to relieve the confusion
of proper Practical Training Report formats.

From 2021 onwards (until a new guideline/template is updated) this Practical Training
Report Guideline in .pdf and Practical Training Report Template in .dotx formats are
provided to students and supervisors.

This Practical Training Report Guideline and the Practical Training Report Template
are already formatted based on the formatting specifications to serve as reference for
students when they are preparing their Practical Training Report.

To start your report,

 Download the Practical Training Report Template file (in .dotx format) from
the Google Site for CSC339 UiTM Sarawak Branch (https://sites.google.com/
uitm.edu.my/sarawak-csc339).
 Open the Practical Training Report Template file (in .dotx format) in
Microsoft Office Word only.
 Save the file using a suitable name at suitable location on your computer (e.g.
the desktop) and the template is ready for use.

1.2. Preparing Practical Training Report using the Template in Microsoft
Office Word

The provided Practical Training Report Template in .dotx format make use of the
Navigation Pane, Headings and Styles features available in Microsoft Office Word to
help students with formatting texts and paragraphs in their Practical Training Report.

The provided Practical Training Report Template also make use of other automated
features available in Microsoft Office Word, such as automatic Table of Content
generation based on headings and subheadings, automatic List of Tables generation
based on table captions, etc.

Students are advised to open the provided Practical Training Report Template in .dotx
format using Microsoft Office Word. The .dotx format was developed, optimised and
maintained by Microsoft to utilise all features available in Microsoft Office Word
software. The use of other software (such as WPS Office) to open the .dotx file may
cause some formatting issues as not all software can replicate all features and
functionalities of Microsoft Office Word. All UiTM students are provided a Microsoft
account to legally install and use all software in the Microsoft 365 suite, including
Microsoft Office Word, Microsoft Office Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint.

 CHAPTER 2: FORMATTING THE PRACTICAL TRAINING
REPORT

2.1. Preparing and Printing of Practical Training Report

Microsoft Office Word should be used for preparing the Practical Training Report.
The Practical_Training_Report_Template.dotx is provided to be used as the main
template for students to prepare their Practical Training Report.

All final copies of the Practical Training Report should be printed using laser printer
for quality printing.

2.2. Length of Report

As a general guideline, the Practical Training Report should not exceed 20,000 words,
excluding appendices.

2.3. Page Setup

The page setup for the Practical Training Report should be of A4 size (210mm ×
297mm), with portrait orientation.

2.3.1. Page Margin

Margin specifications are meant to facilitate binding and trimming. The stipulated
margins for the Practical Training Report are

 Top: 3.0cm
 Bottom: 3.0cm
 Left: 4.0cm
 Right: 2.5cm

5
All information including the text headings, footnotes and illustrations should be
within these margins.

2.4. Text Formatting for Practical Training Report

Students should prepare their Practical Training Report according to the formats
specified in the Practical Training Report Guideline.

2.4.1. Typeface

The entire text of the Practical Training Report, including headings and page numbers,
should be of the same typeface. Times New Roman should consistently be used
throughout the Practical Training Report.

2.4.2. Font size

The normal texts in the Practical Training Report should be of size 12 points. The
Practical Training Template will automatically apply these formatting when the “C
Body Texts” style is applied from the Styles Pane. Texts should not be scripted or
italicised except for

 Scientific names,
 Terms in different language, and
 Quotations.

Students may bold some words within the texts as emphasis.

2.4.3. Heading and Subheading

Headings and subheadings are subsections of the Practical Training Report. All
Headings and subheadings should be numbered, except for the headings of the
preliminaries and closing sections of the Practical Training Report

6
Headings of the preliminaries and closing sections of the Practical Training Report is
not numbered. The text for Headings should be in ALL UPPERCASE, bold and font
size of 14 points. The Practical Training Template will automatically apply these
formatting when the “B Preliminaries Heading” style is applied from the Styles Pane.

Headings of the main body (chapters) of the Practical Training Report should be
numbered as chapters, like “CHAPTER 1, CHAPTER 2, CHAPTER 3, ...”. The text
for Headings should be in ALL UPPERCASE, bold and font size of 14 points. The
Practical Training Template will automatically apply these formatting and number all
chapters when the “Heading 1” style is applied from the Styles Pane.

Subheadings are subsections under a heading. Subheadings are mainly used in the
main body (chapter) section of the report to subdivide a chapter into smaller
subsections. The text for subheading should be in “Capitalise Each Word” case, bold
and font size of 12 points. The Practical Training Template will automatically apply
these formatting and number all chapters when the “Heading 2”, “Heading 3” or
“Heading 4” style is applied from the Styles Pane.

2.4.4. Paragraphs

New paragraphs at the bottom of a page must have at least two (2) full lines of text; if
not, it should begin on the next page. By default, Microsoft Office Word will
automatically make sure that paragraphs at the bottom of a page have at least two (2)
lines of text.

2.4.5. Spacing

Use 1.5-line spacing between lines and 2-line spacing between paragraphs. The
following, however, should be single-spaced.

 Explanatory footnotes
 Quotations longer than three (3) lines in a block
 Reference or bibliography (expect between entries)
 Multi-line captions (table and figure captions)

7
  Appendices, such as questionnaires, letters.

The Practical Training Template will automatically apply these spacings when the
appropriate style is applied from the Styles Page.

2.4.6. Pagination

Pagination refers to the numbering of every page of the Practical Training Report.

Page numbers should be centred, about 2.0cm from the bottom edge of the page. The
position of the page numbers should be consistent throughout the Practical Training
Report. Page numbers must not be punctuated, bracketed, hyphenated nor
accompanied by any decorative devices.

The pages of the preliminaries section (approval sheet, acknowledgement, table of

contents, etc) should be numbered in consecutive lower case Roman numerals (i, ii, iii,
iv, v, vi, ...).

All pages of the main body (chapter) and closing sections (references, appendices, etc.)
should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, ...).

Each appendix should be identified separately using a capital letter (Appendix A,

Appendix B, ...) on the top right-hand margin of the text. The pages of the Appendices
should also be numbered consecutively.

No page numbers are required for

 Cover page
 Title page
 Separator sheets (e.g. separator preceding each Appendix)

The Practical Training Template already applied the page numbering formats.

8
2.4.7. Notes and footnotes

Footnotes, if at all necessary, should be kept to a minimum. The font size for notes and
footnotes should be of size 8 points.

2.5. Tables and Table Captions

Tables must be properly centred on the page within the page margins specified in
Section 2.3.1. Each table should have a reference number (in Arabic numeral) and a
caption. The table number is used to identify the table throughout the Practical
Training Report and so that the table caption appears in the List of Tables section. The
table caption should describe the purpose of the table.

Table numbering should be in the format of Table 1.1, Table 1.2, etc. in Chapter 1;
Table 2.1, Table 2.2, etc. in Chapter 2; and so on. The first number indicates the chapter
in the main body (chapter), while the second number is consecutive numbers that
should restart at 1 for every chapter. Tables in Appendices does not need to be
numbered, but must have table caption.

The table number and caption should appear above the table. If a table is taken from
another source, the reference must be cited properly at the bottom of the table.

Table 2.1 shows an example of how a table and table caption should appear in the
Practical Training Report.

2.6. Figures and Figure Captions

Figures may be illustrations, graphs, maps, charts, diagrams, photos, etc. In fact,
anything that is neither scripted nor table. A figure should not normally extend beyond
one (1) page.

Figures must be properly centred on the page within the page margins specified in
Section 2.3.1. Each figure should have a reference number (in Arabic numeral) and a
caption. The figure number is used to identify the figure throughout the Practical

9
Training Report and so that the figure caption appears in the List of Figures section.
The figure caption should describe the purpose of the figure.

Figure numbering should be in the format of Figure 1.1, Figure 1.2, etc. in Chapter 1;
Figure 2.1, Figure 2.2, etc. in Chapter 2; and so on. The first number indicates the
chapter in the main body (chapter), while the second number is consecutive numbers
that should restart at 1 for every chapter. Figure in Appendices does not need to be
numbered, but must have figure caption.

The figure number and caption are placed below the table. If a figure is taken from
another source, the reference must be cited properly as part of the figure caption.

Figure 1.1 and Figure 1.2 shows an example of how a figure and figure caption should
appear in the Practical Training Report.

2.7. Equations and Equation Numberings

Equations should be inserted using Microsoft Equation Editor. Every equation should
be numbered according to the chapter where it appears. Equation numbering should
be in the format of (1.1), (1.2), etc. in Chapter 1; (2.1), (2.2), etc. in Chapter 2; and so
on. The first number indicates the chapter in the main body (chapter), while the second
number is consecutive numbers that should restart at 1 for every chapter. Equations in
Appendices does not need to be numbered, unless necessary.

The equation should be centred on the line and numbered at the right side of the line.
Equation (2.1) shows an example of how an equation and equation numbering should
appear in the Practical Training Report.

− ±√ −4
= (2.1)
2

Inserting equations and equation numbers with the correct formatting is tricky. The
best approach is to use table with invisible borders so that the equation is centred on
the page but still has the equation number at the right edge of the line.

21
4.7. Writing Convention

4.7.1. Use of English Language

The English Language should be used for all texts in the Practical Training Report,
unless when quoting texts from a different language or when referring to official name
in Bahasa Melayu such as the official names of government departments, etc.

The style of English used in the Practical Training Report should be consistent and
should not mix between British English and American English. The use of British
English is recommended.

4.7.2. Numbers

Spell out all numbers less than ten (10), and write the single-digit number inside
bracket after the spelled-out number (e.g. six (6) ).

However, single-digit numbers may not be spelled-out when

 The numbers are part of a series of numbers (e.g. the children were aged 2, 6,
7, 12, and 13; e.g. The standard deviation for each group are 3, 4 and 15
respectively).
 The numbers are attached to units measured (8 cm, 25 litres, 27 hectares, etc.).

Use numerals for double (or more) digit numbers.

If a sentence begins with a number, spell out the number in words and write its numeral
inside bracket (e.g. Fifty one (51) people survived the calamity).

4.7.3. Units of Measure

Use internationally recognised abbreviation for units of measure.

 4.6 metric tonnes/hectare (4.6 mt/ha)

 500 parts per million (500 ppm)

22
  25 millilitres (25 ml)
 31.6 metric tonnes (31.6 mt)
 15 kilograms (15 kg)
 37 kilometres per hour (37 km/h or 37 kmh-1)
 15 grams (15 g)
 2.5 hectares (2.5 ha)
 200 kilopascals (200 kPa)
 167 kilowatt-hours (167 kWh)
 300 milliampere-hours (300 mAh)
 450 US Dollars (USD 450)

The numbers before the units measured should not be spelled out, unless they appear
at the beginning of a sentence.

4.7.4. Direct Quotation (If Applicable)

Direct quotations must be minimised at all times, except in some fields such as
literature (e.g. quotations from Shakespeare). Should a report written in English quote
materials directly in another language (e.g. Bahasa Melayu), students are expected to
provide a direct translation, and whenever possible, must synthesise materials in other
languages and paraphrase then in their own words. Quotations should be italicised and
positioned within quotation marks “...”.

If the quotation is more than two (2) lines, it should be indented and separated from
the main text.

23
