    Final dissertation Bibliography Error
    Hello there!

    Hope you're all well.

    This might seem like a bit of an unnecessary panic, but I've just handed in my final third year dissertation here at Cambridge (History of Art) - after over a year of work! - and have just realised an error in the bibliography.

    Basically, my whole dissertation is centered around this one book which I critique and build upon (which is of course mentioned in thee text and referenced normally), but, somehow, I have been stupid enough to forgot to include this in the bibliography.

    Is this a massive problem? Can I lose marks for this, or do you think they will be lienant enough to let that kind of thing go, as its obvious I was using it throughout the text anyway.

    Sorry for this unnecessary panic. This is what finals is doing to me!

    It's a tiny-weeny error in the grand scale of things, although it's a bit of a major blooper at the same time! If they even notice, it might make a fraction of a point of difference, but probably not even that.
