This week I started my dissertation. Whilst for others it is worth a large part of their degree, mine is only worth 4.17% but nevertheless, it’s going to take a lot of work and time. My initial experience of writing a dissertation hasn’t been that bad, however like most people, I found it extremely difficult […]
