Resumé
Example for a formal template of how the thesis should be submitted to Ben-Gurion University. This document contains all the necessary pages for submitting the thesis (including their translation in Hebrew) and chapters. Each chapter holds several examples, such as citing articles, adding images to the article and the table of contents, and more. The document is divided into several folders, each containing one chapter. The document has one main file which connects all the chapters and the opening pages. Formal titles, which appear on several pages, can be changed at once from the main file.
