DISSERTATION PEOPLES.


Mr. Martinez

Recommended Posts

i dont know maybe u could write about the correlations between the gangs the cops the cartel and the politicians eg in terms of social structure, economic transactions, ethos etc etc and what the directors did to show the similarities. i'm not doing a arts degree so this could be bullshit but f*ck it. one thing i do recommend is forget about the dissertation for the evening, smoke a few zoots, watch the last episode and just think about what hit u deepest, did it leave u asking any questions. u always do ur best work when u genuinely want to learn about a topic.

edit i didnt see the above post

Sick subject to do.

when I did mine I thought it had to be quite serious so I chose can advertising be classified as art, couple weeks later I ask one of my friends what they're doing....'how Ice cream is used to symbolise adolescence in tv and film'

I enjoyed mine though, learnt a lot about past designers and how the commercialisation of art isn't always a bad thing.

This is the sh*t that scares/puts me off of going to Uni. People are forever telling me i need to go, and that i have the capacity to achieve / i am a uni material, it will enhance my prospects etc

In school and college i hardly did any of my coursework.

I am quite eager to get back into a learning environment though, i do miss a few aspects of it.

I am 23.

All these 183212801247 word essays etc. Scares me

You can do it brah.

Do you have a subject/field you are fully interested in? To me thats the hard part

Also those are word LIMITS you can be (I think its 10 - 15% under)

Being concise >>>>>>> waffling

critical thinking and analysis>>>>>>masses and masses of aimless material

How does it work when they mark these things.

Do you use footnotes each time a scene is referenced?

do the lecturers and wajamacallits have to wath 6 seasons of the wire?

if i make a reference as im going thru think i can jus say ___bla bla bl acan be seen in epidode 2 season three ____.

but ima break down the 3 good eps and use them like a case study to show techniques.

/

my lecturer has watched the wire still.

Fam is ur lecturer Ian smith

"Finally, the data gathered in this dissertation..."

Just started my last paragraph.

Today has been a nightmare man, I left it like 2 weeks since I last looked at it and still had introduction and conclusion to do. f*ck*ng LOOOONG.

Trust me finding the motivation to make these bits good is probably the make or break points for most people. Silly but true...

Anyway so happy to finally have it nearly finished... not even watching any inconsistencies I find from now on.. straight printing tiiing

If anyone (by some sort of slim chance) is doing a dissertation about digital/banner advertising, I got a reasonable 2:1 on mine (if you want to rip some research or whatever).

i finished my dissertation like a month before it was due

e-mailed it to my supervisor

waited till 4 days before deadline to get some feedback

all it said was 'surprised you didnd't include my name in your acknowledgments' and that was it

left it for a day

then before i knew it i'd done all the structure and formatting side of the thing and it was time to hand it in

so i essentially handed in my first draft

so sad

You better go and hot someone up about that. No one would my lecturer get away with that sh*t (although something similar did happen but I got a 1st so it's nothing). I treat a lecturer f*ck*ng around with my education the same as someone f*ck*ng around with my money. Problems will arise.

f*ck*ng pisstake

yeah you really should have spoke to somebody about that tbh

how & when did you lot all decide what you wanted to write your's on

did you have a topic you were always interested in then try to frame it in reference of your academic discipline, or did you just pick a topic from your course you knew you could pull off and was relevant?

i'm a bit stuck for ideas atm, although my field is quite broad i beleive

Had an idea I started with and realised there was pretty much no material from the UK so after going through a mad period, I was speaking to a friend about hers and listened to hers and then I developed my idea from there.

Mine was on how the UK Media Representation of Islam creates and supports an anti-Islamic discourse in British Society.

What was your degree in?

Sociology or something related?
