ANSWER ME!

[Poll #573296]


Yes, of course I've done my presentation.
Some of it.
In my MIND.
Look, a pterodactyl is making off with Margaret Thatcher's wig! *runs*
(BBC news reported the break up of Mark Thatcher's marriage, and included this paragraph:

"Educated at Harrow, he left in 1971 with just three O-levels. He did not go to university, and failed his accountancy exams three times."

And then they begrudgingly admit that he's actually quite successful.

I suspect that the Cambridge distinction is that your 'thesis' is what you express in your dissertation, if you see what I mean.

I don't think I really encountered any happy clappy ones until I met the Christian Union at College. And my relationship with them wasn't of either the best or the longest. :-)

Yes. Do you know if Oxford have the same terms?

Aw! They are actually all very cheering and fun to sing.

Informally, even Cambridge people tend to call it a 'thesis', but officially, it's a dissertation. I don't know for sure about Oxford, but I just checked one of their sites for prospective students, and that talked about a 'thesis' for research students.

My objections were more to the CU and their theology than to the hymns: something about all homosexuals being damned... (Sorry, I'll stop the rant there!)

I think they do. The thing that I was asked to write was a 'dissertation proposal', though, as [livejournal.com profile] glitterboy1 said, I have to identify a central thesis.

P.S. Sorry - good luck with doing your presentation. I hope they all agree to take part.
