Use structure

Computer science is all about structuring information. So show you're a good computer scientist by structuring your thesis well! This involves making use of structuring techniques on high-level as well as low-level.

Pay attention to the following:

• High-level structure
  Use chapters, sections, subsections to provide high-level structure
• Details presented concisely
  Use bulletpoints, tables, graphs, figures to provide detailed structure
• For headings: maximum of three levels with numbers (i.e, 3, 3.2, 3.2.4) and one level without.
• Balance
  Normally, section 3.2.1 is roughly as long as section 3.2.2. If not, either there's a very good reason that you should explain in the report, or you should restructure the report so that the imbalance disappears (e.g., promote 3.2.2 to a new subsection 3.3).
• Be brief and to the point
  Clarity counts.
• Ensure flow
  Does the high-level structure make sense? Does the low-level structure makes sense? Are the sentences and paragraphs logically connected? Are the arguments in logical order, and is the conclusion logically following from ALL provided arguments? If not, fix it, e.g. by going back to the design phase.
