Due to the covid pandemic, the signamture page should be modified per OGS requirement:
In file ucsd.cls,
Change the line:
\addcontentsline{toc}{frontmatter}{\protect\numberline{}Signature Page}%
to
\addcontentsline{toc}{frontmatter}{\protect\numberline{}Dissertation Approval Page}%
comment the hlines in the tabular environment in signature page section.
In file template.tex, the table captions are below the tables. To fix that
change the line:
\usepackage[capposition=bottom]{floatrow} %force captions below figure per OGS requirement
to
\usepackage{floatrow}
\floatsetup[table]{capposition=top}
\floatsetup[figure]{capposition=bottom}
or you can just comment the line and customize the caption locations by yourself.
Below are suggestions (not so important):
In file template.tex,
use:
\bibliographystyle{plain}.
If you use bibtex, please note that comments (lines come after the % symbol) are not suggested, as it may create unexpected warning or errors.
Chapterbib pakeage does not work properly for my thesis. As it just put the reference entries of all the chapters at the end of each chapter. Do not know why.
