    My report is going, just so much to do.

    Anyone have any decent strategies to avoid errors and basic grammatical mistakes and structural problems..

    Things I am sure they'll be looking out for to mark the report down respectively.
    Why not book a meeting with a staff and have them look through it?

    I wish my deadline was as late as yours.

    Well, we did have exams first though, so I guess, I revised for exams mainly....the only slightly messed up thing is that our grade is just the lowest of exams /or dissertation...

    Currently sitting at somewhere near 13,000 words. Quite pleased with how quick I'm getting through it though, especially as it doesn't need to be formally submitted till October!
