Help from university graduades

[Nesh]

This is my last year in the university after that I graduate.

The last 2 semesters are the most crucial and I have to finish a study/research on a subject in my economics.

I need advise, tips and all the help I can get from all of you who have passed from this phase. Especially regarding the structure of it. If its ok for anyone to email me an example I d be most thankful

I d appreciate any kind of advice A LOT

No help for Nesh?

Well, your title mis-spelling 'graduates' as 'graduades' did give me a chuckle.

Seriously, I'm not a college grad yet. I'm technically on a sabbatical about to enter my second year which took me 12 years to accomplish, I'm probably not the best to give educational advice.

Except maybe a little, stay with it and be persistant. Never give up, and it's never too late to go back and fix old mistakes.

I plan to graduate one day, just because it's something I want to accomplish. I just ain't in no hurry, could take me another 12 years easy.

Same to you buddy. Just remember it ain't a race and to pick a major that you are genuinely interested in.

My grandma always told me to follow where your heart will lead you and to do something you enjoy/love, the money will follow. I'm still following that advice.

Major in economic maths.
Look for something that contains PDEs in the syllabus.

And still waiting for the money eh

Really though he is correct.

Nesh the problem is I am not sure that we can all relate. I graduated in Chemistry with a BS and needed to do nothing like what you are suggesting. I have taken 2 economics courses, but you majored in it I take it so you win the prize and know more already. In other words without a great deal more information from you don't expect much help and even with the info you might simply be wasting your time.

I had to do a project/dissertation at the end of my degree (Comp Science & e-Business) which lasted a year and took about 300 hours of private study.

The best advice I can give is to try and do a little bit every day and finish much earlier than the deadline. Start with a thin overall structure (e.g. using MS Word outlining feature) and pad it out with content - this doesn't work for everybody but is good when you feel a little directionless and is a way of monitoring your progress. Try and get draft sections reviewed by tutors/peers when you can. Whenever possible get out of your room to study - go to the library/private study areas.

I totally failed to follow most of the above advice and ended up blowing off my entire Easter break in a 5-week pain train. Not recommended.
