Content ideas were liberally borrowed from this document. +The {\tt withesis} style file is based on the Purdue thesis file +written by Dave Kraynie and edited by Darrell McCauley. This base was +edited to meet the format requirements of the University of +Wisconsin--Madison and several additional new commands were created. +In addition, environments from the UW Mathematics Department were also +incorporated. + +\section{Producing Your Thesis or Dissertation} +The {\tt withesis} style file will take care of most of the formatting +requirements for submitting your thesis or dissertation at the University +of Wisconsin-Madison. There are some requirements on the printing of your +document. From the Graduate School's {\em UW-Madison Guide To Preparing +Your Doctoral Dissertation}, +\begin{quote}\singlespace +Print your dissertation on a laser printer. (Some high quality dot-matrix +printers may be acceptable.) The printer must produce output that +meets all format and legibility requirements. A professional copy shop +can produce an acceptable copy to be submitted to the Graduate School. +Some copiers enlarge the original between one and two percent. To avoid +problems with margins, produce the original copy with margins larger than +the required minimum. Look carefully at the copy before paying for the +services and ask for pages to be recopied if necessary. Common flaws are: +smudges, copy lines, specks, missing pages, margin shifts, slanting of +the printed image on the page, and poor paper quality. +\end{quote} + +\subsection{Required Paper} +The paper which is used for PhD Dissertations should be: +\begin{itemize} +\item 8-1/2 x 11 inches +\item High-quality, white +\item 20 pound weight, bond +\end{itemize} + +While for Masters Theses, the paper should be: + +\begin{itemize} +\item 8-1/2 x 11 inches +\item White +\item Acid-free or pH neutral +\item 20 pound weight +\item 25\% cotton bond minimum +\end{itemize} + +Paper that meets these requirements can be purchased at book and stationery +stores. + +\subsection{Copyright Page} +\label{copyright} +If you choose to retain and register copyright of the dissertation, prepare +a copyright page using the {\tt withesis} {\tt \verb|\copyrightpage|} command. +Center the text in the bottom third of the page within the dissertation +margins. This page is not numbered. There is an additional fee for copyrighting +your dissertation which is payable at the bursars office along with the +microfilming and binding fee. + +\subsection{Prechecks} +The Graduate School has reserved 9:00-9:30 each morning to answer specific formatting questions +(for example: use of tables, graphs and charts). You may bring in 8-10 +pages to be reviewed. No appointment is necessary. + +\subsection{Final Checks} +\sloppypar +For information about the final Graduate School review and about depositing +your dissertation in the library, see {\em The Three D's: Deadlines, Defending, +Depositing Your Doctoral Dissertation} or look +at the web site +\begin{quote} +{\tt http://www.wisc.edu/grad/gs/degrees/ddd.html} +\end{quote} + +\section{Disclaimer} +This software and documentation is provided ``as is'' without any +express or implied warranty. +While care has been taken by the authors of this style file such that the +final product will probably meet the University of Wisconsin's formatting +requirements this is not guaranteed. |
