The first big chunk of thesis.tex is all formatting stuff. You really don't have to change any of it, unless you want to add fancy new packages to get more features in the document. (I don't know how to do this.) One thing you can do is use the "Margin Check". If you comment out line 15 (\documentclass[12pt]{withesis}) using a %, and then uncomment line 18 (\documentclass[12pt,margincheck]{withesis}), then it will generate a PDF that has black boxes in the right margin anywhere where your document goes outside of the accepted margins.
The real important part starts at line 112 (\begin{document}).
I don't know what the \bibliographystyle thing is. I just left it how it was from Tyler's thesis.

The next parts are where the other chapters are called. The command

\include{CHAPTERNAME}
calls the file called CHAPTERNAME.tex. (You may have to save the chapter .tex files in the same folder as thesis.tex.) You'll have to change these \include commands to call your chapters.
For the references, \bibliography{REFERENCES} calls the file REFERENCES.bib that should contain your references. (Here it is References/library because my .bib file is called "library", and it is in the folder "References".)
