[Tex/LaTex] Alignment inside a curve rubric

horizontal alignment

I have the following problem with my CV using Curve: I have two files,
namely main.tex:

\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\documentclass[a4paper]{curve}

\usepackage[nohead,nofoot,hmargin=1.5cm,vmargin=1.5cm]{geometry}
\linespread{1.3}

\title{CV}

\leftheader{}
\rightheader{}

\begin{document}
  \makeheaders
  \maketitle

  \makerubric{Degrees}

\end{document}

and a file containing a list of degrees, called "Degrees.tex":

\begin{rubric}{Degrees}
\entry*[2010] Bachelor of Science, Computer Science, Some University
Thesis:    "XXX"
Reviewers: "ABC"
           "DEF"


\end{rubric}

I would like the content of the rubric to be properly aligned, as they are in the source code, but I just can't figure out how to do that. I have tried using the tabular environment, which works but has the drawback that the text inside it is not left-justified with respect to the text above it

\begin{tabular}{ll}
 Thesis: & "XXX" \\
 Reviewers: & "ABC" \\
 & "DEF" \\
\end{tabular}

I also tried an itemize, but this fails completely.

\begin{itemize}
\item[Thesis:] "XXX"
\item[Reviewers:] "ABC"
\item[] "DEF"
\end{itemize}

I would appreciate any help with this.

I think that the environment tabular is the best way. Your problem with the space based on the dimension tabcolsep To start the environment table at the left side you can set the space to 0pt by using @{}. More information about this command can be found in the documentation of array.

\begin{rubric}{Degrees}
\entry*[2010] Bachelor of Science, Computer Science, Some University

\begin{tabular}{@{}ll}
 Thesis: &  ``XXX"\\
 Reviewers: & ``ABC"\\
 & ``DEF"\\
\end{tabular}
\end{rubric}

Using this definition in your contens

\documentclass[a4paper]{curve}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{Degrees.tex}
\begin{rubric}{Degrees}
\entry*[2010] Bachelor of Science, Computer Science, Some University

\begin{tabular}{@{}ll}
 Thesis: &  ``XXX"\\
 Reviewers: & ``ABC"\\
 & ``DEF"\\
\end{tabular}
\end{rubric}

\end{filecontents}
\usepackage[nohead,nofoot,hmargin=1.5cm,vmargin=1.5cm]{geometry}
\linespread{1.3}
\title{CV}
\leftheader{}
\rightheader{}
\begin{document}
  \makeheaders
  \maketitle
  \makerubric{Degrees}
\end{document}
