Document class for Monash Faculty of Information Technology theses (Honours, Masters, Ph.D.)
-
[cssethesis-1.7-src.tar.gz,
0.89Mb]
(last updated 2005/10/18). If you just want to grab the (26kb)
class file, say, the contents of the tar ball is here.
Latest version of the
cssethesis document class. Changes
include:
-
Use of new names for Clayton and Caulfield Schools of
Information Technology
-
Fixes for the thesisdraft and
thesispsdraft options
There is an example
source document, that includes information on how to use
the natbib citation and referencing package. An example output document
is also available, as is the documentation and
code for the cssethesis document class.
Note:
If you want to use pdflatex with the
harvard package, make sure you use version 2.0.5a of
harvard.sty, which has been hacked for compatibility.

Old versions of the CSSE document class

LaTeX template for the honours research proposal and
literature review
A LaTeX
template for the honours research proposal that
complies with the CSE417
handout. This example document
will compile properly if you have the files necessary for
the cssethesis demo (MonashCrest.*, etc).
I recommend that you use this, or something else based on
the article class, for the research proposal and the
literature review. The cssethesis class, which is based on
the book class, is not really suitable - you want sections,
rather than chapters, for a document of this size.

AUCTeX: a
package that facilitates the writing and formatting of TeX with
Emacs and XEmacs. Note
that it might already be installed on your machine (it is on

'tex-site) to your ~/.emacs file in order
to load it.
