Usage

Look at the example directory to see a template of how to use the class. The manual has more information and details.

Installation

Download the files by choosing "Clone or download" and then choosing "Download ZIP". Copy the files nddiss2e.cls and nddiss2e.bst files into the same directory as your LaTeX source file.

Beware! If seems nddiss2e is already installed on your machine, it is probably an outdated version from 2005. Please use the current version.

This Repository

The Makefile contains all the logic to process the master source file, nddiss2e.dtx. The nddiss2e.cls, nddiss2e.pdf, and template.tex files are generated from the dtx file. Run make to regenerate everything. These derivatives are checked into the repo to make it easier for people to access and download them.

The example directory provides a template showing how to use the package. The handout directory is a single-page getting started guide.

Other Resources

The Notre Dame Graduate school has formatting resources and the current standard.

Authors and History

This class file was created by Sameer Vijay, following the Spring 2004 Graduate School formatting guidelines. Later Megan Patnott updated it to follow the Spring 2013 guidelines. Don Brower maintained it from 2014 to 2021.

The class is based off of an older style file created by D. A. Peterson, Jeff Squyres, and others. The example files are from the sample_ndthesis.tar.gz by Jeff Squyres and D. A. Peterson, suitably modified for the nddiss2e class.
