Here is a screenshot error document for begin

I am not able to understand how do I debug it? What can I do to remove the errors. This was a custom template some one got from another university and gave it to us. We do not have an IT or library department to ask questions as what is it doing.Which files there are errors what are the errors. here is a link to all the files you can see it https://www.overleaf.com/3838449319pjhnfzpgvypm

    Well my main advice here is: don't use a complex, unknown template if you don't know how to debug it. See also https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/391022/2388. – Ulrike Fischer Mar 14 '20 at 17:33

    the error is most likely in the .aux file (hard to tell from what you have posted) but also does that screenshot mean you have all those styles in a local directory? If so, why? they are almost all standard packages thar are in texlive so available in overleaf. – David Carlisle Mar 14 '20 at 17:43
  • here is the full link to all the files you can see every thing and edit it https://www.overleaf.com/3838449319pjhnfzpgvypm I basically want to know what is the problem in template,my department gave this and most of the people are using it I am myself new very new to latex. I some how have a difficult situation because I have double load than rest of the students. I do not know what is missing and what I need to do. write in it. – koeradoera Mar 14 '20 at 17:44

    really that template makes no sense at all, do you have to use it, why does it contain all those files in the styles directory? – David Carlisle Mar 14 '20 at 17:52
  • I have no idea I have to use it , I submitted a document made from that because I was asked to do it. I got very poor grades also. – koeradoera Mar 14 '20 at 18:03
  • someone probably got a template from someone and they forwarded that to us,the person who forwarded the template does not know what to do with it or was too lazy to edit that and this came to us. I wish if I can get an advisor online to ask what to do each time I get an error. – koeradoera Mar 14 '20 at 18:05
  • Hello there! Tom from Overleaf Support Team here. I don't know what could cause this. But you can reach me on Overleaf support email address and we can see what's going on there. Then if it's something worth sharing with others, I will make an answer here. – yo' Mar 14 '20 at 21:10
