FINISHED

only 17000 words

Re: Dissertations

Nerd. Mine was 7500 but i put the word count as 8500 and included 40 pages of graphs.

And got a shit mark to go with it.

stu is doing his, needs to be in on the 13th april

im currently a spinster

i've only done 4300 words so far

only have to do between 5-8000

I did 12,000. In four days.

effort!!

Mines a computing dissertation, so it's not the same as other courses where by the whole thing is literature review & evaluation based.

One section (4000 words) is a academic research and thats worth 20% of the overall mark

the rest of the report is worth another 20%

Had to develop a web application - thats 25%

Have to give a presentation/viva - 15%

And project management/control is 20%

Already got the control marks in the bag too

I did 14000 in about 12hrs over night and handed it in the next morning.

Failed though but

lucy's doin hers at the mo, got 3 days to go and the stress isnt showin too much.......yet.

why didnt u start it earlier and do it over a few months?

its a waste going to uni for 3yrs + and failing surely

at least u can see her

im 'banned' from going to see stu till he's finished

its just me myself and i at the min

Just had to resit the year, so not a huge deal really.

would of been easier to do it properly in the first place tho

I managed to get a 2:2 for mine.

got it all to look forward to in September

Mines limited to 8500 words. Not sure if thats or not yet as I've only done 200.

I had the advantage of being able to touch type at around 60wpm, which sped things up a bit.

Masters in research in medical and molecular biosciences. 8500 is quite a lot when you think that most of those sentences should be referenced, and you can use a ton of diagrams, but my mum was saying that her masters dissertation was over 50,000 words when it was submitted
