Double-Sided Print: Some Good Feedback from NUS Faculty Staff


We would like to thank the following two NUS Faculty Staff for writing in with these very useful and practical suggestions in response to the Joint Advisory on Double-Sided Print for Student Submissions.

Useful Guidelines for Printed Student Essay Assignments

Thank you for this most welcome initiative, something which I (and I am sure many other colleagues) have been advising for some time. Perhaps your office would like to go a little further with this, ie to see whether staff, particularly in disciplines where essays are the norm, would endorse 1.5 line spacing, no cover pages, and to mention to students that they should not submit an assignment with one or two lines on a fresh sheet, but reformat it!

Proposed Amendments to Theses Binding Margin Requirements

Double Sided Printing of reports and theses may require reformatting of the Left and Right Margins for Odd and Even Pages so that it can bind properly. Most official documents specifying the formatting requirements state the same margin requirement for all pages (odd and even). These specifications should be amended accordingly to legalize double-sided printing, especially for thesis submission.
-- Associate Professor Poh Kim Leng, Department of Industrial & Systems Engineering
