First day, done 4 1/2 hours and I'm going to be honest, that's been a struggle. I doubt I'll get more done today but I'm aiming for 6 hours tomorrow. I only got up at 12:30 today so this may be the reason for my failure (also no chocolate or coffee! )
Just a question for third years doing their dissertation: because you've left it so late is it really affecting your revision time, and possibly your final exam grades? - I'm not having a dig at any of you, just asking out of genuine interest before I go into third year myself.

Doing a diss this late isn't always deliberate - I intended to have all my data collected by Christmas, and then by February, and I finally got it all on Wednesday. Stuff you can't influence gets in the way, like when people have time to train you to do things, and when certain equipment is available.
And yes, it will affect my revision, cos that won't get started properly until the diss is handed in, 17 days before my first exam.
I'm in this too (started yesterday). So far I've done 10 hours, hoping to get 35-40 hours done by the end of this week, and then 50-60h/week for the next two weeks.
