It follows the basic formatting guidelines for theses. Because this is an instructional template, some subsections contain only one paragraph. In your own assignment, every subsection must have at least two paragraphs.\nThis template is otherwise a copy of the thesis template, but sections that apply only to theses have been removed. You can therefore read the word “thesis” as “written assignment” where appropriate.\nGeneral guidelines\nUsing the thesis guide and the template\nAt the beginning of your work, read the \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://www.samk.fi/en/for-students/instructions-for-written-assignments-and-theses/\" \u0014thesis instructions on the SAMK website\u0015 carefully. This will save you from unnecessary work and help you avoid common mistakes. Your thesis supervisor will guide you in planning the content and structure of your work. The Library will help you find suitable source materials. For questions related to formatting, you can contact your thesis supervisor or the teacher responsible for research communication or research methods.\nRead through the texts in this template first. In the final version of your thesis, you must remove all instructional texts and extra appendices from the template. If you want to remove the instructions immediately, you can find them on SAMK’s thesis instructions website in both Word and PDF fo","cbCaijMN7RbO7OMJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijMN7RbO7OMJ","docx",395694,"English","# Introduction or Chapter one\n# General guidelines\n## Using the thesis guide and the template\n## Write your thesis using the desktop version of Word\n## Template styles\n# Sections of the template\n## Front matter\n## Body\n# Other things to consider in the layout\n## Visualization and illustration of the text\n## Accessibility\n# Tips for fluent writing\n# References\n# Appendix 1: Styles used in this template\n# Appendix 2: Top 3 problems when using the thesis template","[{\"question\":\"What should be done before starting thesis writing with this template?\",\"answer\":\"Read the thesis instructions on the SAMK website carefully and use them to plan content and structure.
