200 pages? Are you serious?

I always thought the avg dissertation was 10-15k words even for medicine. What course are you doing?

200 pages included all supplements that I had to put in. My dissertation was The Analysis of the Translation of Medical Leaflets from English into Lithuanian language. I did Business English, so my half of studies were business related, the other half translation related.

I've just checked and my total word count is 10521 because I had to put some of the analysis examples as supplements but they still count as content.

Oh sorry, apparently it's not 200 pages :teehee: it says 90 pages :biggrin: I don't even know where I did get that 200 from :lolwut:

That went straight over my head until it hit the stratosphere after which it bounced back down to earth. Swooshed passed my head and disintegrated into the earths core along with any understanding I might of had of what on earth that is about.

I understood it. It just seems like such a narrow and niche topic I have no idea how you chose it.

I didn't even know it was a thing.
**hyper ventilating**

hopefully 2000 words by tomorrow.

12000 words due may 14 (also can add 2 weeks extra)

Narrow? :toofunny: There are many sources for theory alone and many sources for analysis. It takes a lot of effort and understand to do it and I took it as a challenge which I defeated :colonhash: No one took it because only few of us took strong and difficult topics, the rest grabbed the easiest ones. No one took mine because it's too difficult and requires a lot of reading, understanding and very time consuming.

Congrats on defeating that tough title! :smile:

Doing mine on the ethics of selective abortion/eugenics and the impact it has on certain groups of people in society, for philosophy. Damn, your dissertation seems long, 200 pages:lolwut:
Good luck:smile:
