Well done mate. I handed mine in at the end of November but had two more assignments to do, which I handed in a fortnight ago.

Just sitting back waiting for the results in March now. When do you get yours?

Anybody who is really hung up on word count is never going to get a good grade, it's like someone trying to write a good song my making it longer Laughing
Mine was 6 months of hard work, THEN i started writing. I spat out 30k words, then chopped it down to 23k before handing it in. It was 3k over the limit but they were never going to count them all Razz

Christ, nine months?! Did not think they take that long, I was under the impression it was a matter of a few months. If you look at some PhD theses, they are up to 80,000 words!

yeah, exactly. i planned it by content (started with a lot) and just worked out how much i wanted to say and it fit nicely Smile it's like an upside down pyramid. start wide and narrow down the focus. lol

the hardest is the research, the writing is easy! did the proper writing at beginning on December, started researching everything in about April time last year (we had a few essays to do on the pre-planning).

we have to hand in electronic copy aswell as printed+bound so they can do word count easily lol. very strict with it.

like i said, it's the research and planning of ideas and the point you want to make without sounding like its jut a load of waffle.

it needs time to be re-read and adjusted of course.

I'll be starting one next week as part of an MSc research project. Fortunately it won't take up much of my free time as it's company sponsored and forms a part of my daily work so I expect it to take a couple of months at most, some lab work is still on going though so that could extend things. Fortunately a large portion is already written up in a rough sort of form as part of my daily work, thank fuck for that because slugging out 10-12000 words is a tedious process at the moment. I look forward to the satisfying feeling you are experiencing now.

My girlfriend handed her's in on Friday; 11,000 words on how water deposits vary with distance from a glacier by using water chemistry and diatom analysis. We went to Norway over the summer and collected all the data. Wild camping for 4-5 days. Was good fun.

I start my group project (worth half my year) this week. Making a remote control car which is controlled via wifi and should hopefully stream video to an iPhone and allow you to control it. Bit like those quadrocopters that where on top gear Christmas special. I am looking forward to it.
