Source files for Thesis Class

Thesis Class

Be sure your computer has all the following files. If you can't install them into the main TeX directories, you can put them into your current working directory.

thesis.cls (version 1.11, April 2010)
indentfirst.sty
ulem.sty
rotating.sty
sample thesis (to illustrate usage)

rough drafts

You can use the file thesis2side.cls instead of thesis.cls if you need to print rough drafts but wish to save paper by using 2-sided printing, smaller margins, and tighter line spacing. This file is a modification of thesis.cls.

To use it, download thesis2side.cls to your working directory, and change the top line of your thesis LaTeX file from \documentclass{thesis} to \documentclass{thesis2side}. You wouldn't use this for your final version because its formatting doesn't conform to Grad School specs -- be sure to revert to \documentclass{thesis} for final proofreading and printing.

file locations

The following directories/folders are typical homes for the files mentioned above.
$TEXMF refers to the texmf directory in your main TeX installation.

directory	file(s)
`$TEXMF/tex/latex/misc/`	`thesis.cls thesis2side.cls`
`$TEXMF/tex/latex/base/`	`rotating.sty ulem.sty`
`$TEXMF/tex/latex/tools/`	`indentfirst.sty`

When these or any other TeX/LaTeX files are added to a computer's TeX installation, you must run the program $TEXHOME/bin/mktexlsr or otherwise recompile TeX's internal index.
