What's left

Taking a cue from Ambivalent Academic, I will list the remaining work I have to do on my thesis.

  • Summary: not started
  • TOC: fiddled with Word auto formatting to see if it would work; real version will be last step.
  • Chapter 1/Introduction: "finished". Waiting for comments Academic Adviser promised would come today. Will tweak hypotheses (edited from my prelim proposal) as I do the final polishing.
  • Chapter 2: "finished". Needs a read-through.
  • Chapter 3: Finished and published.
  • Chapter 4: "finished". Waiting for comments from Research Adviser that should come by Wednesday.
  • Chapter 5: "finished". Waiting for comments Academic Adviser promised would come today.
  • Chapter 6/Conclusions: Crappy draft written. Needs editing for style, and review of content to ensure it matches chapters.
Also:
  • Embed tables and figures into text.
  • Place chapters into one big document.
  • Consecutively number tables and figures.
  • Merge literature cited lists for each chapter into one big list; format.
  • Format section headings to generate TOC.
  • List of figures.
  • List of tables.
  • Vita
Three days to go!

Doesn't sound like you are doing this in Latex; I can't imagine doing all of these things manually! Good luck!
