 WARNING!!! 

  • When using LaTeX,  do not add any additonal LaTeX packages to the bmetez.tex. Those packages will very likely conflict with the thesis style and  distort the format of your output.
  • Once you finish writing and typesetting your thesis draft,  check and correct your document with regard to the  items listed in Chapter 2-COMMON  MISTAKES COMMITTED BY   THESIS WRITERS before submitting your thesis for format control.
