% In the main text of your thesis you can write the chapters in two different ways:
%
%(1) As presented in this template you can write:
%    \chapter{Title of the chapter}
%    *body of the chapter*
%
%(2) You can write your chapter in a separated .tex file and then include it in the main file with the following command:
%    \chapter{Title of the chapter}
%    \input{chapter_file.tex}
%
% Especially for long thesis, we recommend you the second option.
