Binding a Masters project

Big Chris · 6 Dec 2012 at 14:23

The Mrs is coming to the end of a Masters degree and has a piece of work she has to submit which needs to be bound. She's doing it all via post as she's done all the work at home.

Are there special requirements for how these things need to be done? I've asked her to find out as I'm gonna sort it for her, but her stress/potential rage levels are through the roof so I've been giving her a bit of space to get it all done for fear of being eaten alive - and asking things more than once is considered an act of war.

I did suggest I speak to her Uni about it but she said she'll sort it with them and let me know, just a little worried as it needs to be in Ulster by Fri of next week so I don't have long to find a place that'll do the right thing should there be a list of requirements.

She's sorted the font/formatting of the doc herself, just needs to be bound professionally.

She's done exactly as I or anyone else would do and left it all to the last minute, bless her

I'm gonna try and speak to them I reckon, it's starting to sound like it could be doom & gloom if I get it wrong, and I certainly don't want to ruin Christmas.

This thread has sufficiently scared me enough that if I get it wrong, I might as well go live in a tree.

I've asked her to get me the details directly from them so there's no mistake, seems silly to screw it up over a minor detail when she's spent the last couple of years hard at it (ooh-err).

Come next Fri it'll all be over and done with, she'll be stress free and smiling again, and I can commence being 'rewarded'

for my incredible patience, understanding and support through this difficult period.

Will even post pics if she passes

People with a pending masters can't do this themselves?

I'm sure she could yes, but I said I'd find a place to get it done and take care of it to help her out. She works full time in a hospital, and two nights at a private clinic too, plus doing a Masters degree in whatever spare time she has left. Finding the right place and hanging around while they sort it is something I'm quite happy to do for her
