I just genuinely don't understand why there isn't anything here.
I genuinely don't understand why my supervisor wouldn't simply get my work to the externals if he wasn't going to work with me, then get out of the f*ck*ng way. If he's too busy going on holiday or doing his own work or spending all his time writing someone else's thesis for them, then that's fine, just say you don't have any time for me so I should hand in my work by x date and it'll go out to the externals. They can suggest concrete changes to be done in a certain amount of time and then they can sign me off.
It is not supposed to be that f*ck*ng hard.
And again, 1 year research project up to 50,000 words. It is not supposed to be that hard.
First year University: 2 x 2,500 word essays x 4 classes per semester for a total of 8 classes per year for a total of 20,000 words in one year (and a bunch of examination scripts.
Second year University: 2 x 3,000 word essays x 4 classes per semester for a total of 8 classes per year for a total of 24,000 words in one year (and a bunch of examination scripts.
Third year University: 2 x 3,500 word essays x 4 classes per semester for a total of 8 classes per year for a total of 28,000 words in one year (and a bunch of examination scripts.
Fourth year University: 2 x 5,000 word essays x 4 classes and no examinations for a total of 40,000 words in one year.
A one year masters research project: up to 50,000 words. In ONE YEAR. What is the f*ck*ng problem, here? An academic year is roughly 9 months including 3 months of examination (1 1/2 months per semester).
WHAT IS THE F*CK*NG PROBLEM HERE???
A PhD has a minimum enrolment period of 2 years and up to 100,000 words.
That means you can write the f*ck*ng thing in 2 years and have it externally examined over 1 year for a total of 3 years enrolment time. Or you could write it in 1 and 1/2 years and have it externally examined and done in 2 years.
New Zealand is not allowing people to complete graduate research qualifications.
They will not get the work to external examiners.
