Tag: top and bottom

Header and footer margins are fairly big in a formatted thesis. Plenty of space for you to add useful notes.

At the top of a page you might:

• Write a short sentence about the page contents;
• Have a keyword;
• Highlight a particular place on the page;
• Leave an encouraging note;
• Write a reminder.

At the bottom of a page you might:

• Add a remark about a key reference;
• Summarise any corrections you expect;
• Note any particular points you expect questions on;
• Leave another encouraging note;
• Write another reminder!

There’s a lot of space at the top and bottom of every page in your thesis. Plenty of space for you to add useful notes – but you have to decide what will be most helpful for you.
