Table of Contents

The table of contents list the chapter, topics, and sub-topics together with their page
numbers. Topics and sub-topics should be labelled according to the chapter, for
example, first topic in Chapter 1 should be marked 1.1 and the first sub-topic, 1.1.1. The
use of letters in parenthesis {for example, 1.3.7 (a)} is appropriate as a means of
differentiating sub-topics of the same topic from each other. The numbering system
provides a clear picture of the relationship between chapters and topics and show hoe
they are connected.

List of Figures

This list contains the titles of figures, together with their page number, which are listed
in the text or in the appendix. The numbering system is the same as that used for topics,
for example: Figure 1.3, Figure 1.3.7 and Figure 1.3.7 (a).
