Finally decided on a topic! We have to submit two choices though - am thinking of writing down a really awful one so my other idea gets picked! :-)

Have you tried contacting a data analysis professor ?


Hi I've got it all sorted now - thank you anyway!
Only just decided my topic and I already want to die, there's so much work.

On an unrelated note - what's the stance on referencing Newspaper articles? I mean, I know you can. But if someone referenced say, The Daily Mail?

You should ask your uni or a lecturer in your particular study on their own rules for referencing as each uni is different in what they regard as substantial references and less trustworthy references.
Mm

My university do it the other way round - we do the literature review, the abstract, the methodology and the introduction, and then we do the research and analysis.
Literature review done - 1,600 words! Introduction time!
Pretty sure I over-reference. 3000 words in with nearly 60 references

Draft introduction done, literature review done, draft methodology done. Waiting now for my ethics approval so I can start the data collection!

When are all your dissertations due? I haven't even had my first dissertation supervisor meeting yet, let alone started writing it.
