Re: I hate My thesis- it makes me want to shoot myself

haha no im studying medicine! I took one year out to do research. And my thesis is on Prostate Cancer Screening (using the PSA test) and analysing the messages give through certain media in UK and how this can affect the doctor patient relationship..

It sounds long but its interesting but I dont want to write it anymore :( got my discussion section left now.

When iA it gets published I will post a link on here :)

Re: I hate My thesis- it makes me want to shoot myself

p.s. I want to shoot myself because I hate writing it and the fact that my word limit now doesnt seem to be enough :S not the actual content

i thought you had finished your degree. you're in your 3rd yr?

are you penalised for going over?

Re: I hate My thesis- it makes me want to shoot myself

No im in my 5th year I took a year out after 4th year and final year, final year is only 14 weeks for us though at my uni. then I have 2 clinical blocks in final year (Emergency Medicine and Elderly Care) and then final exams and graduate by end of april. But we are now applying for academic jobs, and all job applications start in august.

Im very close to finishing my degree!

You can be either 12% over or under but anymore and you get penalised

Re: I hate My thesis- it makes me want to shoot myself

oh cool. i thought intercalated b.sc was in third year so you study along side other 3rd years. i guess you're doing something different?

f1 applications... good luck!

p.s. i think you get more points in the application system for anything extra you have done, like research, especially if you get anything published. that should keep your spirits up!

Re: I hate My thesis- it makes me want to shoot myself

Thanks! yeah london unis tend to do it between 2nd and 3rd year however others do it sort of any time you want, lots in my uni do it after 4th year because everyone starts going mad and needs a break!

THANKKSSS...Im applying for an Academic F1 job , and writing a thesis at the same time makes me want to cry a little bit!

Re: I hate My thesis- it makes me want to shoot myself

hang in there - it’s a common problem with people who take their research and writing seriously… if you wanted to simply get through, you could’ve done a shoddy job and wouldn’t know why the word limit was so high :D. I finished my doctoral dissertation last year… with a page limit of 300 pages (irrespective of line spacing), I had a very hard time staying within that limit even with single line spacing, and trimming/editing your own write-up is really painful since you’ve put so much thought into it.

In the end, you’ll be glad you had more to write about than the other way around - worst case scenario, you might be able to use some of it for a peer-reviewed publication. Best of luck! :k:

Qayamat ki nishaniyan! A girl is out of words and a boy is complaining 300 pages Max limit was not just enough!

There is a fruit that tastes bitter - but when you drink water afterwords, the taste is sweeeeeet!

Go through the pain, and then enjoy the gain. I have no doubt you will finish your report within the prescribed word limit.
