So a flustered zhen called me earlier asking me how she should be throwing her literature review in her report. But the thing is... her project is a series of mini-projects and how do you write one literature review for a whole bunch of mini-projects? So I asked her if she'd read some papers or books for each of her mini-projects and had written some sort of background based on those papers and books in the chapters of her report related to the mini-projects and she did. So what's the big problem then?? She's already got her lit review... in mini-chunks w.r.t. her mini-projects within her project.
And then, she told me she'd heard we should write 50 pages at least coz everyone wrote at least 50 pages and that the page limit for the main body is 100 pages so she write a bunch more and got her report up to 50 odd pages now. But the thing is, there isn't a minimum number of pages in the official rule. So why should we be worried about the number of pages?? I only have about 40 pages from intro to conclusion but I think I had all that should be written. I have my background, I have my analysis, I have my results and discussion. I can't think of anything else that should be added that is relevant. Irrelevance is easy and that is prolly what was added into most reports just so they can hit the 50-page mark.
Maybe I'll do that too if my report got returned... =3
