	Thesis writing, what fun! Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Pushing page 35 now, maybe I'll finally reach the beginning of the Spanish Civil War which might be a good thing in a 80-120 paper about the Spanish Civil War.

And now back to writting about Moroccans kicking Spanish ass when outnumbered 5:1

A 100 PAGE REPORT!!!

What is this for, a Ph.D? I am a junior in high-school and my longest paper was 7 pages. What are you writing, a book?

its a paper for undergraduate honors in history...

did you know that Moroccans of the Rif mountains threw blacksmiths into rivers when they died and the spit on them if they saw one floating past?

By "spit on," do you really mean "urinated on"? 'Cause that'd be a pretty sweet custom.

unfortunately not
they did have love charms that involved getting the object of their affectings to eat their sperm disguised in candy, which should be worth at least something....

And I thought my 7 page science report on prebiotic chemistry was huge! I was researching a origin of life theory that says that the boogey of a primevial soup isn't needed. (eg. Stanley Miller experiment) Life started as a self sustaining reaction on crystals of Iron pyrite (fool's gold) forming organic molecules near "black smoker" deep sea vents. (which also explains why The most primitive organisms live in hot places) I got the best score in the class.

I've got another year or so before I even have to start thinking about a thesis.

Tee-hee. I did mine on a typewritter!

Psychology of mass fervor; The Spanish Conflict, Revolutionary Russia and the Red Clyde.

Utter guff, I wish I'd done it about 2 years later, and I could have banged on about Diana's funeral.

Also I had to do an experiment, basically "the effect of damage to the caudate putamen on rats" -with reference to possible theories about what that structure did-- unfortunately the answer that question was "they die" in most circumstances. I guess I cut up about 40 rats before giving up!

Okay, that might satisfy the 20th-century and English language requirements. Now you have to find a 17th or 18th century Italian art song, an English Baroque aria, 19th century German lieder, 19th or early 20th Century French art song, an aria from a Bach cantata, arias from 19th century Italian and French opera, and then your encore pieces. All memorized, of course.

Get cracking! (er, not cracking notes, though...)

I'll start working on my "small thesis" in a week or two. It'll be about the change in the image of the Indian in letters from America to Spain during the colonial history. I got a 100 pages minimum and 100 books/articles to read.
"Small thesis"/Diploma Work is required here for a "Mag.Phil" degree, for a Dr.phil, we need a thesis of 200-300 pages and write something really new.
What's the exact title of your thesis, boshko?

I'm in page 55 in mine. It's a diploma thesis and has to be 100 pages as well. Others who have done it have told me numbers from 90 to 140. Have to give it by the end of month.

The subject is "A review of the latest developments in predictive models for the wear of machine elements"

It has tons of formulae in it...

I;ve heard that you have to hand over at least 500 pages for a Ph.D. thesis.

So where are you going to dedicate yours? To your mom and dad?

One could easily write much more than 100 pages on something like the Spanish civil war. I wrote a so called "special paper" on the same subject in school and it was around 40 pages. Are you really writing about the entire war?
