- I'd say the grammar of both your examples is correct.
- I'd question a couple of word choices.
- " A person may be included as a thing, but a thing may not be included as a person.
- In the second one, "Come up with questions" is idiomatic, but "coming with the thesis" is not.
- I'd say, "before presenting the thesis," or something like that.
