% A Sample Thesis for the University of Calgary
% =============================================
-% Load the UCalgary Memoir Thesis class. By default (without options),
-% this produces a 1-1/2 spaced thesis in 11 point font without running
-% heads. Use package options singlespaced or doublespaced for single
-% or double line spacing. The default font is LaTeX's Computer
-% Modern. Use package options times, palatino, libertine, garamond, or
-% utopia for other nice typefaces. (You may need to install the
-% relevant packages to get these to work.) Use package option headers
-% if you want running heads. Use option fullpage if you want the text
-% to occupy all allowable space (1 inch margins all around), or option
-% manuscript if you want a page layout suitable for reviewing and
-% proof reading. Option manuscript selects 12 pt type, doublespaced,
-% approx. 25 lines per page, with approx. 72 characters per line. You
-% may want to remove the option for the version you file in the Vault;
-% it looks nicer and is a bit more compact. You can also use any
-% options that the memoir class recognizes, such as 10pt for 10 point
-% font, 11pt for 11 point font, 12pt for 12 point type,
-% etc. Documentation of the memoir package can be found at
-% https://ctan.org/pkg/memoir?lang=en
+% This is a sample LaTeX document to build a University of Calgary
+% graduate thesis according to the guidelines of the Faculty of
+% Graduate Studies, available here:
+% https://grad.ucalgary.ca/current-students/thesis-based-students/thesis/building-thesis

+% To use this sample for your own thesis, rename this file, make any changes
+% necessary, then add the content of your thesis t othe included files
+% frontmatter.tex, chapter1.tex, etc.

+% First, we load the UCalgary Memoir Thesis class ucalgmthesis,
+% available at https://github.com/rzach/ucalgmthesis
+
+% By default (without options), this produces a 1-1/2 spaced thesis in
+% 11 point font without running heads. See the README file for a
+% description of all package options.
+
+% In our sample we give three options: Option utopia sets the thesis in a
+% nice font. Option headers produces running heads. Option manuscript
+% formats the page in a way suitable for reading and commenting: 12 pt type,
+% double spaced, approx. 25 lines per page, with approx. 72 characters
+% per line. For filing in the Vault, remove that option to produce a
+% more compact thesis with a slightly better layout.
