Dissertation Support Megathread!

Royally screwed up myself. I had another essay and exam in late March and made the mistake of therefore doing the dissertation in early April/Now instead of February when i should have. While i can't the fault the quality i'm really not sure i'll crank out close to 10,000 (let alone the 12,000 word maximum) and it won't be as well read as it should.

I'm in the same situation :/ I should have done most of it ages ago but I'm struggling to get participants. What are you studying?

Japanese aggregate demand. The main weakness will come from the literature review, methodology and word count for me.

I don't really know what this is :/ wait what subject are you actually studying? Method isn't too bad, depending on if you have participants, its usually stuff like very very detailed about where and when you recruited people or if you aren't recruiting then info about where you got your information like research and stuff from I think.

Economics. No surveys, just quantitative data.

What do you do with the data then?

Well after taking ages I've tabled it, i'll graph some of it and i'm analyzing it.

Oh that kind of makes sense, whens it due?

Next week.

First of all, I think that everyone needs a You'll get to the end!

I am currently doing my proposal i study sport science with business but my dissertation will be sports science. I have come up with the title,
Could childhood obesity treatment and prevention dramatically reduce cardiovascular disease rates?

Does this sound ok, i am going to do a systematic literature review. Also is it possible to answer two questions in the disseration or does it have to be only one.

Thanks for your help

Hi guys, do you include models in the literature review?

Or could you include models in the discussion chapter too? I would rather talk about them in the discussion, but it feels like it would make more sense to be in the literature review.

Hey what subject are you studying? I would say that its best in the literature review if it has relevance as some lecturers prefer that there are not new references in the discussion. However, you can mention the models used in the literature review in the model on how they supported or went against your findings and that sort of thing. I think when it comes to future research you can also say that certain models can be used if you're suggesting an intervention depending on your subject of study. Hope that helps

It was under the word limit and late but i finally submitted something i hope will pass. It just means i need to push harder on my other essays to make sure i'm over the grade boundary.

If its late does that mean it gets capped or were they okay with it in your case?

I think i lose 5% or 10%.
