tomorrow i am going to start my dissertation. i have two weeks to bang out 8000 words of a dissertation, hence today i am swanning about, reading magazines, watching combos of youtube and tv.
in the meantime if anybody would like to contribute to an obviously well-researched and written dissertation on science and gender, your comments in my direction are very welcome:)

"Ability at science is correlated to gender and is undeniably and staggeringly proportional to maleness". Not sure about the other 7985 words though...

Well, you wanted nonsense :P Good luck!

Ahhhh you poor thing. I hope that you manage to get it all done.
Unfortunately I will be absolutely no help to you as it took me nearly 2 months to write my dissertation!! I hope that you have lots of nice things to munch on.....that usually helps!?!?!

Good Luck x

nonsense. exactly.

I have to write my dissertation within 7 weeks, May-June (40 pages, in Times New Roman 12), it won't be fun :| (topic will be sth like "Social Realism and the City - Glasgow on the Big Screen" - argh)

about the gender topic, hm, all I know at the moment has to do with 19th century society - but as to "Gender & Science", erm... sounds like a broad topic to me...

dissertation are around 8000 words and are generally a researched discussion of a topic.
a thesis is a larger word count and is an argument i believe

...it also depends on where you're studying (well obviously...)
In Germany there's a way-too-complicated final-paper system, some people have to write 150 pages, some 80, some "only" 40, others are lucky and have to write only 20. *sigh* (I think 20 pages in "Times New Roman, Size 12" would equal approx.6000 words...)
