Acknowledgement
Can someone please check my acknowledgement. It would really help me.
"First and foremost, I would like to thank Mr. Jeffrey James for being my supervisor. His support, guidance, and advice are greatly appreciated. Furthermore, I would also like to thank Professor van Soest, as he provided me with many great points to include and gave me econometric advice whenever it was required. I am also very grateful for the feedback I got from the World Bank. Many thanks to Paige Morency-Notario. My research would not have been possible without her help. Finally, I would like to thank my family for their lovely support. Not only did they proofread my text, they were constantly there to help me when I didn’t think I could continue."
Should I start a new paragraph when I thank a new person? Or can I keep it as one paragraph?
Mr. or Professor? Include a first name or not?
Comma before ‘advice’?
‘required’ the right word?
According to Microsoft Word ‘Many thanks to Paige Morency-Notario’ is a fragment, should I change this sentence?
Any other tips? Just quickly wrote this.
P.S. Paige Morency-Notario is working for the World Bank.
