The introduction
The introduction serves to inform the reader or evaluator about the content and objectives of the thesis.
In this part of the thesis, the following aspects must be briefly presented: the general objectives of the work, the research methodology used, the student's scientific approach, and the results obtained.
Essentially, through the introduction, the author must answer the question: What is the problem being studied?
Thus, in the introduction, as a response to this question, the relevance and importance of the chosen topic must be indicated. The nature of the problem must be explained, and its formulation represents the most important aspect of the introduction. The research methods and materials used must be mentioned, and the thesis must be briefly outlined, emphasizing the connection between its different components.
The length of the introduction should not exceed two pages.
