GUIDELINES FOR WRITING THE CAPSTONE PROJECT DOCUMENTATION
Reminders: 1. All Italic words are reminders only. These are instructions on what should be the contents of every category. Read them carefully and follow the instructions. 2. All words that are normal in fonts are sample statements in every category or subtopic. You can use them as guide in writing your own. But remember that these are only sample statements, therefore, you should not imitate the length but you have to lengthen the statements based on the details that you have to deliver. 3. Statements with no particular formatting and are enclosed with () must be decided which information to write since there will be two sample phrases inside the symbols. 4. All words enclosed with symbols must be supplied. Words that do not have symbols must be copied such as published by or updated or reviewed from and the like.
