This is non profit project. When I was a student, I atended graduation thesis with a lot of worries, the most worried was not completing it. But then, under the encouragement of the lecturer, I also defend successfully with a modest score: 8.3. Research and develop are hard. But present it properly, synchronously and beautifully are more difficult than, especially with group.
At that time, my group didn't know Latex. We use Google Doc and Microsoft Word to write thesis. Using these is quick and convenient, but encounteres some problem:
- Our thesis has to write many math formulas. Write by Google Doc is impossible, MS Word is hard, take time and easy to get the wrong format when copy.
- Do not synchronize the format of the whole thesis. Chapter 1 with font size 13, chapter 2 with font size 14. Title, caption, number list are all messed up.
- Citations is very difficult and time consuming.
After that, I study master and must be write Latex. I discovered new horizons. Many younger student who do thesis, asked me how written thesis, I sent them my old pdf thesis. However, many of you do not know how to do it. I feel that Word is much more difficult to use than Latex, although it has a friendly interface.
In my spare time, I have researched and learned the Latex source of thesis from a friend from BKU. Since then, I have customized it to suit the requirements of the UIT. You guys can use it as a standard template to write, without having to worry about how to format it anymore.
