General Thesis Improvements

[rfechner]

general

• write "I found that..." instead of "we have found that..."
• thank the DZNE for data? Thank the supervisors? Thank friends and family who have helped with the thesis?
• appendix is its own section -> needs to be represented as section in table of contents
• referencing figures and tables -> each figure MUST be referred to in the text, preferably before being shown.
• "See Fig (X)" instead of simply dropping down a reference number.
• "See Appendix X
• bring snippets of code onto one page.
• improve readability by including line breaks at naturally occurring breaks, e.g. "..talk about. Firstly..."

Introduction

• when describing the sections to come, elaborate a bit more on the contents of the section and the key insights received there
• Improve upon unscientific formulations

Foundations

• Give an answer to question posed in 2.3 instead of simply dropping the results like P[y|x] = 0.012

Method

Results

• merge "second experiment" and "further results"

Discussion

Summary

• summary should not include any kind of weighting or judging of the findings.
• recapitulate the steps taken in the thesis
