1/3

This is how I wrote my project acknowledgement:

I am very thankful to everyone who all supported me, for I have completed my project effectively and moreover, on time.

I am equally grateful to my teacher [name]. She gave me moral support and guidedme in different matters regarding the topic. She has been very kind and patient,whilst suggesting to me the outlines of this project, and correcting my doubts. I thankher for her overall support.

Last but not the least, I would like to thank my parents who helped me a lot in gathering different information, collecting data and guiding me from time to time in

completing this project. Despite their busy schedules, they gave me different ideas tohelp make this project unique.

Thanking you [name] [class-sec]

Sometimes an acknowledgement for a completed project can be as difficult to word as the

content of the project itself.

Typically an acknowledgement is found at the very beginning or very end of a report. It gives

the writer an opportunity to thank and acknowledge the individuals that have helped them

finish their work, or contributed anything towards the report.

To write an acknowledgement that is suitable for your report, try looking though other

completed projects within your field. Adopt the layout or content and see how you can

interpret the typical format into your own work.

You should look back through all of the reports, data and evidence that you collected for

your project and write a list of all the individuals or companies that have contributed in some

way. From this list you can then determine which of the contributions you actually used inyour final piece.

Ideally, you should only acknowledge anyone who physically added any information to your

project or helped in the preparation. You should always mention your supervisor by name

and other individuals that are mentioned will depend on the type of report you are writing.

If it is a work report you should acknowledge your employer, while if it is an academic report

you should acknowledge your school or professor. It is also a good idea to acknowledge

anyone who might have helped you collect your data, or who participated in surveys or

interviews.

If there was a person who read through your drafts and offered you suggestions, you might

like to acknowledge them as well. Normally other employees or students will not be

acknowledged unless they had a direct and important influence on your work.

The formality of your report will really be determined by the circumstances it is being written

in. In most cases it will need to be reasonably formal and avoid any excessive praise. In

some circumstances you may have the opportunity to be a bit more light-hearted with your

acknowledgement, but don't go overboard and start thanking your cat!
