"I'm entering my final year in September which means one thing for any student out there - dissertation time! [insert dramatic music here]"Neil Baker at Writing is a scientific art
Even put in its context I wasn't sure what this word meant. Study time or party time? Fancy words are likely used for serious matters, but why guess when I could widen my vocabulary?
Dissertation is a formal exposition of a subject, a research paper that students write in order to complete their candidature for a degree or professional qualification; a thesis. A lengthy lecture on a subject.
It's from Latin "dissertationem" which seems to have the same meaning.

Howdy. Basically, a dissertation is a 10,000 word essay I would have to do on pretty much any area of English Language or Literature. very specific, just on one subject (like literature between 2 dates) or how language is prepresented in various texts etc.
Hope that makes sense. Fortunately, I'm not doing one :)
A bit like a research paper really. Difficult and stress-worthy.
Hi Neil. It sounds like a writing person like you should love such task. No? Well, I can understand why.
