Busy working [or procrastinating from] my dissertation presentation. Worth 25% of my overall mark - YUK. I'm meant to be doing an overall review of my dissertation, so structure, themes and arguments etc, but it can only last 10minutes. I'm at about 15minutes and I'm only on the intorduction! Haha. I've got far too much to say...

Hey!
I am a final year marketing student at The University of Gloucestershire. If you're 16-25, please help my dissertation by answering my short questionnaire on social media and complaining behaviour! It should only take a maximum of 2 minutes and will really help my research. Many thanks!

How long should the introduction be roughly? I'm doing not doing a masters dissertation, it's a BA one, and my total word count is 10,000.

I've finally finished my first transcript of part of Question Time and am finally feeling like my dissertation is really progressing now. Need to start the transcript of Anne Will next and I'm hoping to get it done in the next 2 weeks. They're so time consuming though because you have to transcribe everything including things like audience applause, coughing, speed of speech etc so that it all reads back like on the programme and everything counts to the total word count. I think half of my dissertation is gonna be made up of the transcripts and just hope there's enough room for a decent analysis.

I got told last week that my transcripts actually go in my appendix so I was a bit peed off. Have finished them finally though and I'm starting to look at the analysis today. I've got a pretty good idea of the structure and content of the whole thing now.

Ask your supervisor. It's very likely that the rules/requirements will differ between universities and departments, so an answer that somebody gives on TSR in response to your question may be wrong.

Finally saw my tutor - I've been avoiding him for months. He said the chapter I've written is "good". That was essentially all. He told me to use a table for a set of data and to alter a couple of footnotes. I don't know whether that is a good thing - that he couldn't think of anything else to say...

I've set aside tomorrow/Sunday/Monday to get at least one more chapter written [which should take me up to half way] but I am hoping to maybe get two chapters written. Will just have to see how it goes. :smile:

I feel like I have no idea what is going on but I don't really care. I just want it to be over. :smile:
