Dissertation - where to start?
- Thread starter Rachelj
- Start date
What's it going to be on Rachel??
I completely blagged mine, made up lots of research that I'd supposedly done, if you'd actually done the research then that's a bonus
You know the headings to put it all in:
Abstract
Introductgory Review
Methodology
Results
Concluding Discussion
Appendices
References/Bibliography
or similar to that.
Once you start breaking it down into the headings it becomes a lot easier.
Re title, just choose something that sounds a bit intellectual
Mine was 'The New Female Deliquent: Empirical Reality or Media Myth?' Funk knows what it means but it sounded good

that does sound intellectual missy.
well it is going to be on sustainable housing - got a case study called House for the future (2050). I need to take a critical angle on it. It is a museum piece back home so i was thinking i could take it from that angle but not too sure.
i have done research - on the house, sustainable issues etc, the need for things to be done now, and a lil on museums.
its just a case of getting stuck in now. thanks for the help, i need ll i can get.

Babs in 'intellectual shocker'
If I was you I'd just start writing and see what happens, you can put stuff into headings and everything later, just get down everything you can to start with and you'll be amazed at how quick those 10,000 words come out.

I'm supposed to be writing one at the minute as well, nice to know I'm not the only one who hasn't started! Mine is on challenges to globalisation in Latin America and is supposed to be 15,000 words long. I planned to start immediately upon getting back from Ibiza but I have been ill pretty much from the moment I stepped off the plane. Doh!

Buy one of the web, guaranteed written just for you and plagarism free and guaranteed to whatever grade you can afford to buy 
Don't know if all Uni's are the same but at mines you could borrow Dissertations from previous years. Borrow a couple that are similar to yours and rip off parts of them to fill the background reading/research sections and also give you ideas on chapter headings and the way it should be written. As it is meant to be filled with quotes from books etc it cant be plagerism.
The only bit you really need to work hard on yourself is the case study.
Thats how i passed mine anyway, however, Scottish Uni's may be different to down south.

I disagree. Though I didn't apply myself very well, and my grades sucked, and I came out of it $20k in debt, I still value the experience.nish said:
I'm in a field totally unrelated to what I studied (though I live in a region relevant to what I studied, which is truly fascinating). What uni gave me more than anything is a way to view and analyze problems and issues and to assimilate information, process it, and use it. The proper tools for critical thinking. Once you've got that, you can do anything, really. For that, I am thankful.
Rachel,
I handed mine in at the start of this year. I did mine in under two weeks, made it all up, and got an easy 2:1 8)
Borrowed some similar dissertations from uni, said I conducted a 200 person study, and also said I conducted interviews with a few marketing managers...all made up
Then sat for 8 hours a day writing for two weeks
If you need any help PM me, and I can send you mine
