Program Objectives:
Thesis writing is a time-consuming and lengthy process. Compared with words, writing a thesis in latex has the advantage of better page rendering, better looking and more academic. What we have to do is to learn a little grammar by ourselves, modify part of the template content, and produce a more academically standardized thesis. This workshop aims to:
● Introduced Miktex/Texlive and Lyx.
● Produced more efficient and quality of thesis without worrying about the formatting.
● Improve the capability of writing a thesis in Lyx using the publisher’s LaTex Template.
