I'm guessing you've already tried a Google search

Oddly enough, some of those results show the exact same question being posted on other message boards under a variety of userids.

Say something to convince me you're not a spammer bot. <--silly me

Actually, not quite. Those results show the exact same question posted by either "susanbell84" or "dennisburke84." And, oddly, when the question is asked by "susanbell84" it's answered by "dennisburke84," and when the question is asked by "dennisburke84" it's answered by "susanbell84."

Weird, huh?

I sit corrected. :)

Feel free to answer OP's question and/or define a better search.

Every college has dissertations in their library.

I remember my dissertation. Effects of a Body In Freefall. Just barely squeaked by with that gem.

Yeah, about as subtle as a train wreck.

The serious answer would of course be to refer a real inquirer to the latest edition of the old standby Turabian's manual (hugely updated and expanded by new authors a year or so ago) or the APA style guide.

But that would not be spamarific.

BTW, at the master's level, the student writes a thesis. The dissertation comes at the doctoral level. The confusion in the question might have been a tipoff.

So when is dennisburke84 going to swoop in with the spam wonderful resource in answer to susanbell84's question?
Well, it took about a day. I guess the delay was to be subtle about it . . .

I think that's primarily a US distinction--in the UK and former Commonwealth nations, the Master's paper is also called a "dissertation".
