Deadline for a first draft
November 2nd is our deadline for having a first full draft. I’m totally scared.
I need to find a balance between a self-contained thesis, more readable but with more text to be brushed, and a just-my-contributions thesis, more sharp for people who knows about the field. The straight way is to put all the publications in the form on chapters and fill up some pending gaps as proofs, etc. For me this is not enough, but I have to resist to the temptation of expanding it into vagueness and emptyness.
So, for the first draft I’m just going to put everything that will be included for sure in the form of chapters. I hope this will give me a more realistic view of what is need for finishing, incluiding both the proof-reading and filling conceptual gaps.
November 2nd.
I’ll keep this update with the advances.
