I'm on an MA English Literature course and have 1 module to do by August (because I had mitigating circumstances) and also the dissertation. My problem is, I don't want to do the dissertation-I feel so behind everyone else that I wonder if I can even do it in time-It's due in November. I have a topic but reading about it is like a chore. It doesn't help that I'm not sure what the gap will be and I don't have a tutor because they are on leave. The whole experience has been **** basically-I get that the MA is more independent-I'm fine with that. But there is a line between less guidance from lecturers etc and providing the bare minimum. I've lost all confidence in the course and also in myself. If I drop out I will gain a PGDip which is fine right? It just means I have advanced knowledge without completing a research project. I don't want to go into research anyway.
