All your dissertations sound scary as hell, isn't there anyone else doing Humanities? I'm doing American Studies (*cough* oxymoron *cough*) but I basically do Literature and Film Studies with a bit of history and politics sprinkled in when I can't avoid it.
I've just finished going over my dissertation for the third time and I think it's pretty much done now, I just have or two things to look at tomorrow. It's due in on the 8th May so I have some time yet.
Mine is: "Genderqueer Fiction: Subverting Gender in Contemporary American Fiction." supposed to be between 10 and 12k and I've done just over 11k so I still have a bit to play with if I tweak it any more.

23000 word draft ready to hand in for an appraisal tomorrow. Hope I've not missed anything major
23000 words holy dog ****!
What uni/course/project?
Sure you can find ways to clip the work down, try not to quote references and stuff, might help.
Luckiyl we dont have a word limit, although that doesnt really matter to me, since its in thurs and iv barely got any written work so far, though my practical part is 95% complete as of 5mins ago

I know at my uni appendixes/bibliography/footnotes and stuff like that don't actually count towards your word count... you could check to see if that's the case with yours?
:/ I hope we don't have a limit. BSc Comp Sci. current word count is 39,000 (I have no idea how I wrote that much).

Try 20k words and about 100hours of work on 1 module.
Got 5 more modules but thank god they arent as much!
Pho, plan on breaking a record or something? If you
dont get a first dude you need a slap.
I hope I do, let's just hope I've wrote the right things
.
39k and you're not even finished?!
Our final module is worth 4 modules (40 credit points, meant to take 400 hours) which may be why
.Check your student handbook
What's yours in?
Tracking the location of school buses and children using via GPS and displaying them with Google Maps, basically.
I'd loved to have done something more fun like that but programming is my stronger point so it made more sense. Yours sounds good
.Nope. Code is an extra 12,000 lines on top.
