Dissertation mess

Hi, I'm having issues with getting my final dissertation draft being reviewed by my supervisor.

I have an extension for 2 weeks (now 1) for my dissertation due to health reasons. I wanted to have it submitted by the original deadline and emailed my supervisor to review a draft a week before this (~3 weeks before my extended deadline) but unfortunately she was on holiday until a bit after the original deadline.

She's just gotten back so I emailed her again, I still have a week until it's due but I've been told it's too late to review the draft by my supervisor.

I don't see any sort of deadline in the module announcements or discussion forum nor from any email from the module leader/coordinators about this draft review deadline.

My supervisor also didn't inform us the dates she'd be on holiday but just briefly mentioned a holiday during a meeting.

Would it still be possible to get a review of my draft? How would I got about this?

Other students with an extension have had theirs reviewed recently but I'm not sure if this is relevant.

Most of it has been reviewed already and the stuff which hasn't been reviewed has been looked at separately i.e. I just showed the sections in isolation but I'd feel a lot better if I just had a quick glance through review.

It sounds like you are looking for a "reassuring" glance over the whole thing before you submit? Can you speak to the Module Coordinator? My gut feeling is that any feedback offered after the official submission date will be at the discretion of the marking tutor - and she has said no. Technically speaking, your extension applies only to the submission date, not to any internal deadlines within the module.

It's normal not to review content, because it's unfair to other students who don't have that sort of access and opportunity But if you specify that you want to know specifically about layout then they might do that for you.

It depends on what they are classing as 'content', really.
