		+	==== Abstract ====
	===== Introduction =====		===== Introduction =====
		+	I believe Introduction determines the success of your thesis since it gives the first impression to the reader. Does it introduce the topic comprehensively? Do I understand what the thesis is about? Can the author express themselves well? Is the thesis worth reading or am I going to waste my time?
		+
		+	Truth to be told, most people, including some very busy committee members, will actually get to digest the Abstract and the Introduction before moving to the supervisor's and opponent's reviews. Therefore, I suggest investing extra care in the Introduction. By extra care I mean it should be, along with the Abstract, the most thought upon, rewritten and proof-read part of your thesis.
		+
		+	The Introduction usually starts with a broader introduction of the thesis topic. The purpose of the first paragraphs is to put your thesis topic in greater context, explaining why the task is important, presenting a motivation for your thesis. From the top of my head, an example of introduction opinion mining: ''"Every day, people freely express their opinions on social media. Understanding these opinions is important, but increasingly more difficult as there is more and more data. Opinion mining is a field of natural language processing (NLP), which ... (description of the task)..."''. Generally, you are striving for a ''"greater-good-for-humanity"'' motivation, or ''"interesting-scientific-question"'' motivation, as opposed to ''"my-supervisor-suggested-the-topic"'' or ''"it-seemed-easy-enough"''. Beware of too personal a motivation, such as ''"I have been doing this topic for years, so it seemed logical to continue in it."'' or ''"I do this for a living, so I might as well make a thesis out of it."''.
