    Abschlussarbeit von XY (Name) preposition Schweiz

    Correct?

    Final Paper of XY or Final Paper by XY

    Comment
    Hi everyone,

    I am writing a paper for a class in English. On the front page I wanted to provide some information about who wrote the paper. Should I write:

    Final Paper of XY

    or

    Final Paper by XY ?


    Thank you very much for your help!

    IMO:



    FINAL PAPER*

    * (though the title of the subject might be better)

    **Your name, of course. (-;

    Thank you for your help! I also thought of just dropping the of/by. That would be the easiest option. Currently, the paper looks like that:

    TITLE

    Final Paper of/by

    MY NAME


    I still would like to know which preposition is correct. I can find both versions on the internet like "works of author" or "works by author".

    I wouldn't go so far as to say either preposition is incorrect, but in this context by is better than of, and no preposition at all is best. "Final Paper by My Name" sounds a bit self important / adolescent. I almost expect it to be followed by 'aged 13¾'.

    Actually, I don't much like Final Paper at all, unless that is exactly what is is supposed to be called for the course (AE class) you are taking. Final sounds, well, very final. As if you will never write another paper in your whole life. Ever. And is it even a paper? Or is it rather an essay, or some other form?
