Your chapter heading is set in a \parbox by this line

\hbox{\hspace*{3pt}\parbox{%
        \dimexpr\textwidth-2mm-6pt-\chapter@number@width-\tabcolsep-2\fboxrule-20pt}%
              {\Huge\bfseries\scshape #1}}

so add \raggedright along with the font to get

\hbox{\hspace*{3pt}\parbox{%
        \dimexpr\textwidth-2mm-6pt-\chapter@number@width-\tabcolsep-2\fboxrule-20pt}%
              {\Huge\bfseries\scshape\raggedright #1}}

  • thank you, you saved me, what if i want the title in lower case letters. – zyad elkhadir Nov 08 '17 at 21:23
  • @zyadelkhadir delete \scshape in the same line – David Carlisle Nov 08 '17 at 21:27

    I don't see anything there that changes the page head, but anyway that's a different question (there will be a \scshape or \textsc{..] in some code you are using that needs deleting. But why start with such a complicated class if you want to change the layout, much easier to start with something simple like article or book class and add things that you want than try to remove things from a non standard class. – David Carlisle Nov 08 '17 at 21:55
