Chapter Structure

Thesis/report both have overall structure:
  • Introduction ... what the thesis is about
  • Main Part ... the details of the work
  • Conclusion ... what the thesis achieved
Individual chapters should follow a similar structure:
  • Introduction ... what this chapter is about
  • Main Part ... the details of the chapter
  • Summary ... what the chapter achieved
May sound repetitive but it provides linkage and rationale for the reader.
