Dear all,

do you think I should be worried about re-marks? I got 3 marks changed after the moderator felt that my original marks were too low. For instance, I went from 75% to 80% for one essay (which the first marker agreed to, after being asked to change). I am just feeling uneasy about not being granted this high mark in the first instance. :(


Am I making a big deal out of nothing?

Hey Ultimax! Thanks for your reply.

I am referring to my Master's dissertation. I am losing hope in my topic, but at the same time, I don't want to start on something new now. Confused....

Dear all,


what do you do when you are experiencing doubts about the research-worthiness of your topic, or its practicality? In other words, how do you deal with a loss of confidence in the research?


Thanks.

R.E.! I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET ACCESS VIA A LIBRARY :D


Phewwww!

Hello,
My research is not going well at all. I think my supervisor was not very happy at my lack of progress in our last meeting. I feel so stupid because I said a lot of non sensical things, and now, I keep thinking about how bad the meeting was. I cannot even concentrate anymore.what to do?

could anyone whose institution has athens access please try to download it from this other site:


thanks :)

Hello all,

I am planning on basing my Master dissertation on a dataset. It is in the field of politics. The problem is that it is a secondary source. Therefore, will my mark suffer because of it? I will be using primary sources (newspapers, government papers). However, these will serve to complement the findings from my empirical analysis. I will use only a few of them as well.
I am so scared because I do not see how else I could research my project, except doing my own fieldwork and subsequently establishing my own dataset. This will take ages and I have only up to September to do this.
Finally, I am planning on doing 25-35 interviews (I'll be lucky if I get that many!) with people from the relevant countries who presently reside in London. I will like to use this to give me more insights, Since I only came up with this idea this week, I was wondering how feasible it would be? I have to submit a first draft by 1st August, and usually people hate interviews. Also, should I even bother, given that it is only a few interviews?

and this one as well if anyone can. Thanks!!!

Hi everyone!
I am a Master's student in the UK, and unfortunately my institution does not have access to the journals relevant to my research.

I am currently doing my dissertation on an aspect of Arab society, and I would highly appreciate if anyone who can access this study, could pm it to me.


THANK YOU!
