\abstract{
This skeleton demonstrates how to use the \texttt{infthesis} style for
undergraduate dissertations in the School of Informatics. It also emphasises the
page limit, and that you must not deviate from the required style.
The file \texttt{skeleton.tex} generates this document and should be used as a
starting point for your thesis. Replace this abstract text with a concise
summary of your report.

\chapter{Introduction}
The preliminary material of your report should contain:
\begin{itemize}
\item
The title page.
\item
An abstract page.
\item
Declaration of ethics and own work.
\item
Optionally an acknowledgements page.
\item
The table of contents.
\end{itemize}
As in this example \texttt{skeleton.tex}, the above material should be
included between:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{preliminary}
...
\end{preliminary}
\end{verbatim}
This style file uses roman numeral page numbers for the preliminary material.
The main content of the dissertation, starting with the first chapter,
starts with page~1. \emph{\textbf{The main content must not go beyond page~40.}}
The report then contains a bibliography and any appendices, which may go beyond
page~40. The appendices are only for any supporting material that's important to
go on record. However, you cannot assume markers of dissertations will read them.
You may not change the dissertation format (e.g., reduce the font size, change
the margins, or reduce the line spacing from the default single spacing). Be
careful if you copy-paste packages into your document preamble from elsewhere.
Some \LaTeX{} packages, such as \texttt{fullpage} or \texttt{savetrees}, change
the margins of your document. Do not include them!
Over-length or incorrectly-formatted dissertations will not be accepted and you
would have to modify your dissertation and resubmit. You cannot assume we will
check your submission before the final deadline and if it requires resubmission
after the deadline to conform to the page and style requirements you will be
subject to the usual late penalties based on your final submission time.
\section{Using Sections}
Divide your chapters into sub-parts as appropriate.
\section{Citations}
Citations (such as \cite{P1} or \cite{P2}) can be generated using
\texttt{BibTeX}. For more advanced usage, we recommend using the \texttt{natbib}
package or the newer \texttt{biblatex} system.
These examples use a numerical citation style. You may use any consistent
reference style that you prefer, including ``(Author, Year)'' citations.
\chapter{Your next chapter}
A dissertation usually contains several chapters.
\chapter{Conclusions}
\section{Final Reminder}
The body of your dissertation, before the references and any appendices,
\emph{must} finish by page~40. The introduction, after preliminary material,
should have started on page~1.
You may not change the dissertation format (e.g., reduce the font size, change
the margins, or reduce the line spacing from the default single spacing). Be
careful if you copy-paste packages into your document preamble from elsewhere.
Some \LaTeX{} packages, such as \texttt{fullpage} or \texttt{savetrees}, change
the margins of your document. Do not include them!
Over-length or incorrectly-formatted dissertations will not be accepted and you
would have to modify your dissertation and resubmit. You cannot assume we will
check your submission before the final deadline and if it requires resubmission
after the deadline to conform to the page and style requirements you will be
subject to the usual late penalties based on your final submission time.

% You may delete everything from \appendix up to \end{document} if you don't need it.
\appendix
\chapter{First appendix}
\section{First section}
Any appendices, including any required ethics information, should be included
after the references.
Markers do not have to consider appendices. Make sure that your contributions
are made clear in the main body of the dissertation (within the page limit).
\chapter{Participants' information sheet}
If you had human participants, include key information that they were given in
an appendix, and point to it from the ethics declaration.
\chapter{Participants' consent form}
If you had human participants, include information about how consent was
gathered in an appendix, and point to it from the ethics declaration.
This information is often a copy of a consent form.
