Me neither :cool:

Never graduated, of course

My French is good, nonetheless.

No need for a degree in French (or anything else) in my line of work anyway.

I left the actual writing quite late, had to be in early January and I started it around Christmas time. Was 'only' 7,500 though.

I'm always the same, I spend far longer researching/planning essays than I do typing them.

Month before, all of it. Did okay considering.

depends on how you like to work, exactly. seems like you're writing bits of it up as you go along?

When I did 25,000 words for my MA, I didn't even start writing it until about six weeks before. but then I'd got all my research and everything sitting ready.

you ll be happier come deadline day if you ve planned it properly. i didnt and worked solidly for like 2 weeks before it was in. i was fecked after that, plus my gf finished with me on the day which was nice.

i made 98% of it up in the week before we had to hand it in.

The other 2% i'd done about 5 months previous in the October. Just couldn't motivate myself to do it as i hated the course.

Got stolen. Redid it and handed it in. Then they said some other coursework I had handed in months ago they had "lost"
I kicked up a fuss, they said they "happened" to find it under some papers in some office, it got marked within an hour and just happened to get the exact mark (to the decimal place) which would give put me on the pass line.

Then a week later they "lost" some other coursework and wanted me to repeat the last year.

Huds Uni are FS. Though tbf I hated it as well.
