Grammar
What should be capitallized and what shouldn't?
Ok, my girlfriend (who uses English as a second language in Japan) is writing a thesis. She wanted me to check her grammar in the contents page of her thesis, which is the following:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Contents
Body of text
Introduction
–What I have learned and how community development in New Zealand inspired me.-
Chapter I: The reasons why I set up this assignment of the borderless communities of New Zealand and the summery of New Zealand.
a: The Presentation of the Problem
b: Ends" and "Means
c: The Account for Point of View
Chapter?: Community Development Practice in New Zealand
a: Introduction of Community Development in New Zealand
b: The Community as the Basis of Good Development Practice
c: Values and Principles Underpinning Good Practices for Community Development
Chapter ?: Expositions on Participatory Local Social Development
a: The Delineation
b: The Analytical Framework
c: The Domain of the PLSD
Chapter ?: An Analysis of Community Development in New Zealand and Exploring a number of ideas and suggestions related to the usage of PLSD.
a: An Assessment of Effectiveness
b: The Inadequacies of the Methods Used for New Zealand's Community Development
c: My Ideas and Suggestions
- How to strengthen the borderless communities with due consideration of cultural and social diversity by using the method of PLSD.-
Chapter ?: Summary
-I will alternative my observations of New Zealand's community development based on analysis from a methodological standpoint.-
Future Works

---------------------------------------------
I know that this could use just a little bit of work but here's my main question: The "An Analysis of Community Development in New Zealand and Exploring a number of ideas and suggestions related to the usage of PLSD" part, what should be capitalized and what shouldn't? Because I told her to capitalize the first letters of each word within each head line above (Chapter I,II,III). Now, I'm not expert in English and this is just one of those things that seem just a little bit on the tricky side to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Sorry, but this needs quite a bit of rewording before you even begin to consider what to capitalize.
I have highlighted some parts that I don't understand and/or that need to be reworded.
Best wishes, Clive
