Most boring essay topic ever

I'm just trying to write a report on the internal hierachy of political organisations and whether or not they are democratic!

It was interesting at first but then the sources I've got started discussing the smallest most insignificant details and I actually ran out of library once I had finished reading this last article.

I suppose the worst one was in my first year though, 'Aristotle believes that politics is natural. Hobbes believes that it is artificial'. Discuss. Political Philosophy really isn't for me!

Why on earth is that dull? Sounds good to me.

I can't really imagine the internal hierarchy of the UN being fun to detail...

I wish it was about the UN. Its more so about political parties and trade unions!

200 words down...

I had an essay last week that was "Cows have 4 legs, milking stools have 3 legs, milk maids have 2 legs. Discuss."

Compare and contrast the attachment of the forelimb and the hindlimb to the axial skeleton in domestic animals.

See, science subjects have dull essays too.

At least it is a proper question. Better than having some random statement, to which you are expected to write an answer, and which has little bearing in reality. (IMO)

The idea was that we were supposed to see how much detail we have to go into when planning an experiment!

Such is its boredom, I am still doing it!

I've never been so bad at putting an essay off before (and i've been bad)

Well it looks like its an all nighter for me... if only I can stop coming on this damn forum!

At least you get titles, I don't even get that. I'm given 'thematic quotations' around which to base an essay.

Thats what my end of module essay is going to be like in law and mangement. I am doing mechanical engineering, me and my freinds all unanimously agree that law and mangment is the worst module ever!

What has amazed me is the scope of my course, it involves aspects from so many diffrent subjects.

Maths
Physics
Chemistry
Computing (CAD but also computer programing)
Law
Mangment
Electronics
Art (we do technical drawing)

This is just in year one!
