How does a Table of Contents look like?
Re typing since this is a double post...
table of contents
type table of contents into Wikipedia
(you can type Wikipedia into google search then click that and type table of contents into the search on the left)
(I can't link you there unfortunately)
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! But, I have heard from my teacher that you can't trust Wikipedia because ANYBODY can post something on there. But, THANKS ANYWAYS! :D
It may be true that anyone can post there but that is true for almost anywhere on the web. One NEVER knows whether the information is good or bad. That said, Wikipedia contains some very valuable information. The thing to do is to read several of the articles that google brings up. That way you will know if the information from Wikipedia is on the same track as the other articles you read or if it is different. You need to pick and choose as you surf the Internet and read everything with a careful eye.
Your teacher ought to meet some of the folks at the textbook publisher who write and edit the textbooks. Wiki has a much better editing and proofing process.
Here are suggestions for formats for a Table of Contents

A Table of Contents (TOC) is a list of the main sections or chapters of a document, book, or report along with their corresponding page numbers. It typically appears at the beginning of the document and serves as a roadmap to help readers quickly navigate through the content. Here's how a Table of Contents might look like:
Table of Contents
1. Introduction....................... 1
2. Literature Review.............. 3
3. Methodology..................... 7
3.1 Data Collection............ 8
3.2 Data Analysis.............. 10
4. Results and Findings........ 12
4.1 Experiment 1................ 13
4.2 Experiment 2................ 15
5. Discussion and Conclusion.. 19
5.1 Limitations.................... 20
5.2 Future Research............ 21
In this example, the numbers on the right-hand side represent the page numbers where each section or chapter begins. The main headings (e.g., Introduction, Literature Review) are aligned to the left, while the subheadings (e.g., 3.1 Data Collection) are indented to signify their hierarchy within the document.
To create a Table of Contents, you can use the built-in features of word processing software such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs. These programs typically offer options to automatically generate and update a Table of Contents based on the headings and formatting styles applied to your document. By using appropriate heading styles (e.g., Heading 1, Heading 2) for your sections and chapters, you can ensure that the Table of Contents is accurate and reflects your document's structure.
