Dissertations

CALM DOWN DEAR!!!!

Im not looking forward to doing mine at all

i wish i did one instead i've got to do a 3hour written essay exam, with no materials or resources, not even a dictionary :cry2:

i did mine over night, 8500 handed in the next day woop, i got a 2:2 aswell was well impressed.

Don't people have those too? I had five of them for my finals.

i am still panicing, but I wud just like to say a big thank you to ness who not only cooked dinner and made me cuppas, he came upstairs to check I was ok and gave me cuddles. really helpful

im gutted now, in a cold empty library basement with just a pooter for company

im not sure to be honest, all depends what you're studying i think. im doing a french and spanish degree. really not looking forward to the exams like

and Lee

I did my undergrad one in a week, making up all the emprical data, secondary sources and interviews.. 4 hours sleep a night.. I didn't even have a subject when I started out...

I never learned though, my masters one got done in 3 days..

Word count is irrelevant, both of mine were over 17k and utter tripe, if you start it early it's a piece of piss, the challenge comes if you have to do a shit load of writing in a short period of time - it's a more realistic foreboding of the world of work...

but are you particularly surprised they wont allow you a dictionary??

i think we should be allowed one to be honest, or at least have some kind of notes. its hard enough trying to write an essay in a foreign language, let alone without any materials. you've no idea what the question is going to be either so cant thoroughly revise it

what a moan eh

mine was 35k words, with software. it was a masterpiece. Needless to say i got a 1st.

After a four year language degree there's no way you should need a dictionary in an exam.

mines only a 3year degree and i didnt do the year abroad to my defence. im hardly gona know every word in the dictionary for two different languages. one would be hard enough

Aye fair play. Just assumed you'd be doing four years, with the third spent in france/spain.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

and again, i say

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

:computer: :crazy:

im struggling for time now like, i have the VAST majority done, but i need to word count, check references, margin, line spacing, put it all together, buy card, print off, proof read and bind oh yeah then hand in.

on the personal timetable I should have done this in january or summat lol

Apart from the checking references and proof reading, the rest should take no more than 15mins total. You'll be fine.

Good luck

you would think that yes....

i printed mine yesterday and all the pages were covered in blck specks

so then i got a refund and tried another printer, which couldnt handle the job size

so eventually the woman behind the desk did it for me!!
