Writing the "Acknowledgments"
 
What is a Acknowledgment? This is the space where you thank those that have given you help with your project. If you received any significant help in thinking up, designing, or carrying out the project, or received materials from someone who did you a favor by supplying them, you should acknowledge their help and the service or material provided. You never know if you might need their help again in the future and thanking them is one way of possibly receiving their help again.

Example of an Acknowledgment:

I would like to thank the following: My Mom and Dad, for their
encouragement and advice; Don Franklin at Home Building Supplies, for supplying
so much invaluable information and materials; and Mr. Donaldson,
for help with my English and writing.

Other expressions you might use or include:

  1. I am (most/very) grateful to ...
  2. I wish to (warmly) thank the following ...
  3. This paper could not have been written without the invaluable help of ...
  4. I acknowledge my gratitude to ...
