A table of content in project writing basically is the mirror of the project.

A
table of content can be defined as the detailed overview of a project by which a
writer outline the different headings, subheadings of discussion on a project
work and where or pages each of this information can be gotten. So for easy
navigation of pages on a project work, it is advisable for research writers to
equip its readers with a table of content.

A table of content is like a map for the readers and as such it should be useful,
error free and straight to the points. If you just setting out as a novice in
writing your final year project as an undergraduate and you are worrying
about, how to develop a good table of content for your project. Well, worry no
more because I am x-raying how one can develop a table of content for a
research work.

Writing out the research work first:


To get an error free table of content, it is expedient that you write out the
research work first, so as to be sure of the final headings for each research
write up and also the correct numbering. So one have to finish the research
work before writing the table of content.

Put finishing touches to the write-up:


Put the necessary editing work to the write up like proper numbering the
pages and having appropriate headings and correcting all necessary errors, so
that if you are manually composing the table of content, you wouldn’t omit or
include what was already deleted or omitted

Sketch how the table of content will look like:


It is necessary to have a preview of your table of content before including it on
your main project work, so go ahead and have a sketch of your table of
contents and make all the necessary corrections and input before transferring
or using it for the research work.

Inputting the table of content on a research work:


A table of content should take a different page on a project work. One could as
well capitalize the words and underline them for neatness.

Editing the table of content:


A good table of content needs proper editing. So it is pertinent that following
guidelines are adapted *Create two columns on the page to indicate the
headings on one side and the figures of pages where the headings are located
on the other side. *The title of the headings should be on the left while the
number of the pages where the headings are located on the right *Write
subheadings beneath the headlining of each outlined heading. *Use single line
spacing when typing and the font size should be ‘12’

Check for completeness:


The table of content when done should be reassess to be sure that all that
should complete it is in place. Check to see the spellings of each heading,
subheading and that each heading or subheading corresponds with
corresponding page or section numbers in the right column.
