Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Structuring your chapters

Once you have chosen how to divide your research into chapters, you need to determine the internal structure of each chapter. A page or two filled with uninterrupted text would be very hard to read.

The structure of a chapter is basically a smaller version of the structure of the entire report:

  • An informative chapter title,
  • A chapter introduction: one or several paragraphs outlining the purpose and content of this chapter,
  • The main body of the chapter, possibly divided into several sections,
  • A chapter conclusion, summarizing the results that have been found in this chapter.
