%%Dear students,
%%
%%This is the LaTeX template for your thesis.
%%You should not change any file or folder except the following:
%%thesis.tex, references.bib and the media folders figures, logos.
%%The thesis.tex file is self-explanatory: you only have to make minor adjustments or pay attention wherever you see a TODO or text in blue. You will write your actual thesis starting with the \begin{document} command. This template also includes some examples on how to insert figures and create tables or equations. To see your output you have to compile your 'code' via the 'Recompile' button. Comments are created via the % sign and are blue in color. Comments won't be compiled and therefore won't appear on the pdf file which you can download on Overleaf via the download button above the output on the right side.
\documentclass{thesisclass}

%% ACTUAL THESIS BEGINS HERE %%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%TODO: Follow the next instructions and examples to create important elements for your thesis.
%% ==============================
\chapter{Introduction} %TODO: If you want to write your Thesis in German, you should change the chapter's name.
\label{ch:Introduction}
%% ==============================
This is a nice little introduction with a reference to Figure~\ref{fig:valuechain}. %NOTE: this reference uses a label which you can create when you include graphics, create tables, chapters, equations etc. like in the following examples.
\begin{figure}[htp] %NOTE: This command creates a figure environment. An environment always starts with a \begin{} command and ends with an \end{} command.
\begin{center} %<-- this command aligns your figure as desired, here the figure will be centered.
\includegraphics[width = 0.5\textwidth]{picture.png} %this includes you graphic stored in your figures folder. Upload works via the upload button on the left side.
\caption{This is a figure with a caption \citep*[][p.15]{kraemer2017}.}%this command creates a caption.
\label{fig:valuechain}% this is the aforementioned label, which can be now referred by name. Here it would be \ref{fig:valuchain}.
\end{center}
\end{figure}
Different cite-commands can be used:%NOTE: To use citations, you have to save the information about the cited work in the file called references.bib. See the references.bib file for more instructions.
\begin{itemize}
\item citet results in: \citet{Becker2009} %NOTE the referenced work has the label that you created in the references.bib file.
\item citet (again) results in: \citet{Becker2009}
\item citet* results in: \citet*{Becker2009}
\item citet* (again) results in: \citet*{Becker2009}
\item citep results in: \citep{Becker2009}
\item citep* results in: \citep*{Becker2009}
\item cite results in: \cite{Becker2009}
\item citealp results in: \citealp{Becker2009}
\item citealt results in: \citealt{Becker2009}
\item citeauthor results in: \citeauthor{Becker2009}
\item citeauthor* results in: \citeauthor*{Becker2009}
\end{itemize}
A citation may either appear at the end of a sentence in parentheses. For example: Start of sentence
``[...] random citation [...]'' \citep[][p.20]{bernheim1990}. Or you can cite the author(s) within the sentence. For example: Further information can be found in \cite{cassar2004}.
More examples for different types of sources: This sentence contains a citation of a legal recommendation that has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union \citep{ec2013}. In-text citations of working papers also include author names and year \citep[see, for example,][]{kraemer2016}. \citet{breuer2015} is an example for a citation of a conference paper.
%% ==============
\chapter{Content Section 1} %TODO: Rename the chapters and labels according to your needs. Follow the instructions in the text.
\label{ch:section1}
%% ==============
Of course, the content chapters of your thesis should be renamed. The number of chapters you need to write depends on the specific task(s) of your thesis and cannot be said in general.
%% ===========================
\section{Subsection 1}
\label{ch:section1:sec:subsection1}
%% ===========================
You can reference any chapter, section or subsection by its label: looking forward to Section~\ref{ch:section1:sec:subsection2}. You can also reference Appendix~\ref{AppendixA} and add footnotes if necessary.\footnote{This is a footnote ending with a full stop.}
\dots
%% ===========================
\section{Subsection 2}
\label{ch:section1:sec:subsection2}
%% ===========================
You can add tables by using the following commands. There is no need for a list of tables or a list of figures in this paper-style thesis. But you should always reference tables and figures in the text (see Table~\ref{tab:prices}).
\begin{table}[htb]%<-- this command starts the table environment which allows you to place your actual table (tabular) with parameters e.g. h for here.
\centering
\begin{tabular}{llr}
\toprule
\multicolumn{2}{c}{Item} \\
\cmidrule(r){1-2}
Animal & Description & Price (\$) \\
\midrule
Gnat & per gram & 13.65 \\
& each & 0.01 \\
Gnu & stuffed & 92.50 \\
Emu & stuffed & 33.33 \\
Armadillo & frozen & 8.99 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\caption{A table that lists items \citep[based on][]{Becker2009}}
\label{tab:prices}
\end{table}
%% ==============
\chapter{Content Section 2}
\label{ch:section2}
%% ==============
During the writing of your thesis, you may want to highlight some parts or take notes. This is accomplished by using the following command for highlighting or taking notes in the text. \todo[inline]{This is a note in the text}
If you want to take notes on the side, use the following command.\todo{This is a marginal note} Also make sure that you remove all your notes before submission.
%% ===========================
\section{Subsection 1}
\label{ch:section2:sec:subsection1}
%% ===========================
Adding formulas is easy. Either inline formulas like $E=mc^3$ or unnumbered equations like $$E=mc^3$$ or a single numbered equation like
\begin{equation}
E=mc^3
\end{equation}
or multiple numbered equations that are aligned like
\begin{align}
E &=mc^3\label{eq:energy}\\
a^2 &=b^2 + c^2\label{eq:thales}.
\end{align}
You can also reference the equations if you set a label. Our approach is captured by the fundamental equations \eqref{eq:energy} and \eqref{eq:thales}.
