FAQ

How to use single spacing?

\documentclass[singlespace, [otheroptions]]{ntuthesis}
% Option `twoside':
%   Good for producing Tech Reports.
%   The default is single-sided printing, which is what NTU wants on the
%   thesis document itself.
%
% Option `singlespace':
%   Good for drafts.
%   One-and-half-spaced theses are the default.
%   That is what NTU asks for in the formal specifications.
%
% 	Note that 1.5 spacing is for NTU undergraduate thesis (i.e. FYP).
%   the requirement may vary for Master thesis and Ph.D. thesis
%
% Option `draft':
%   Puts `overfull' boxes at the end of lines that are too long.
%
% Pagestyle `drafthead':
%   Puts the date and the label ``*DRAFT*'' in the footer.
%

What if I need a different citation format Change in your main.tex, e.g.:

\bibliographystyle{plain}
