[ ] use the \mychapter[]{} macro for chapters. If you use the # in a .Rmd, this is converted to a \chapter{} macro, which will not populate the table of contents incorrectly (it put the numbers in front of the chapter entries). Note that the chapter number goes in the brackets.
[ ] the \mychapter[1]{FIRST CHAPTER}\label{firstchapter} macro does not yield the correct references numbers when using \ref{firstchapter}. This can probably be fixed by a LaTeX expert by modifying the command definition in template.tex:
% Use this command to start each chapter
% The format allows chapters in the table
% of contents to meet grad school requirements
% as of 2017
Also, unrelated to the template, but other gotchas:
- [ ] Do not include titles such as Professor, Doctor, Dr., PhD, or any identifiers such as “chair” or “advisor” before or after any names.
