    lol :rotfl:
    sums up the university experience in one. I now compulsively can't write anything without plagiarism!!

    Have to say it was much worse when i was doing a science subject (now doing essay subject), why you were meant to get the same answers! back then our whole social network was based around the black market for coursework.

    but, I digress... i thought dissertation due in september? handed my proposal in a month and a half late, my lecturer didn't give a s*** but woman at faculty office had a fit :p
    bad hair day...

    mine is for a masters in social work, 16,000 words. I am upto 14,000 so far but have a feeling i will be rewriting some of it as it only makes sense in my head. Have one thousand and one other things that are more exciting to be getting on with!

  • 13500 words, completed. A bit nervous as my tutor has told us to hand it in unbound on the due date, whereas everyone else seems to be handing it in bound. Still will take it in a few days early and if it needs to be bound my father is a printer and can do it for me within the hour ;)

    Two weeks to go, done about 20% of it hehe, luckily I've got everything I need and it wont be a problem.

    Re; being bound, my little book thingy says it has to be bound otherwise it won't be accepted, might be worth getting it bound just in case?

    The advantage of it being unbound is that corrections can be made more simply than if it's bound ...

    Handed mine in on the 22nd March! What a relief!

    I'm a computer scientist student, 7months worth of work! Really feel i've done something good :)

    A lot of you have had huge word limits, we were only allowed a feeble 10,000 words! Which I couldnt stick to, oh well!
    I'm better off without you.

    Panic has hit my house, got a load written today and the sun was shining have just typed up and have hit the 6,000 word mark only 2-4 thousand to go - whats the betting i eventually go over and spend a day frantically taking stuff out.

    I can't wait for this to be over the net two essays of 4000 words each are looking more enticing every day.

    Good Luck To All..........

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Good luck all!!!!

    I'm just starting mine for next year - I know it's a bit early but I need to contact Travel Industry peeps for interviews- sigh - could have picked something easy like questionnaires - lol.

    Nice easy 10,000 words on Travel Marketing (NOT!!)

    Mind you I'm just in the process of finishing a live project with a real client that's coming in at about the 13,000 word mark and then have to do a viva on top of that and a presentation to the client - ICK!!!!! How can it get worse than that???
