About APPENDICES and REFERENCES

Of course there is no need to mention about appendices and references to a student whose waiting for graduation and prepared lots of reports until now, but just in case, it will be appropriate to have a released document. 

All program codes, big pictures, large figures, long tables and screen shots must be replaced in appendix (so, we'll not use them as filling material to reach page limits). Whatever placed in appendix must be referred in body-text, otherwise your appendix section will be considered as unrelated.

In case of using an external document (a section from a book, a web-page, an article etc.), reference of this material must be given before appendix section with name 'List of References'.
