Is it just me, or are we all gonna make it brahs? I haven't scheduled a meeting with my adviser and haven't had one since a week ago. I've basically gone renegade, although that isn't saying much since I never did enough work to have any worthwhile questions.

My problems:

1. Do you need to do original stuff for a bachelor's thesis?

2. Do you need to go in depth in to derivations? I'm a chemical engineer but some of the progress was only done by mathematicians with giant derivations. These are summed up in like 2 lines by papers that reference it. Should I even pretend to understand how he does it?

3. Any tips if I run out of things to write about? Since I'm obviously getting most of my information from papers, it just feels like a lot of the stuff I'm seeing is too specific or deep to even bother putting in to my thesis.

4. Obviously most of what I've done is stamp collecting so far. I don't particularly care if I hand in a crap thesis, as long as I get at least 50 % (it's 80 % assessed on the report, 20 % on a presentation). Any tips for getting in non-stamp collecting stuff (20 % of my grade is "critical evaluation")? I mean, if all I do is create babby tier simulators or calculations, how can I even pretend my interpretation of results is worthwhile, if its all been done over 6 million times before?

Why don't you just pay someone to write the thesis for you, exambabby?

why do you keep asking this? you've had people answer this multiple times in every thread you've made - i should know, i answered it in two separate threads

do you just post these without reading any responses?

>> No.6505237

>>6505235

they kind of tentatively say no.

But then how would you respond to question 4?

talk to your thesis advisor, that's what they're there for

You're fucked. Good luck getting all the content in there plus getting all the tedious formatting shit done they make you do. Most likely you're gonna be graduating next semester with a lesson in getting shit done on time.

there are barely any solid requirements for formatting.

>tedious formatting shit
wat
ive written a lot of shit for university, and if you know how to use the program it takes you less than an hour to format 50 pages, including headings, equations, tables, figures, references

If you can convey what you are trying to say, or what needs to be said with less words, then do so.

I have. It's the one I mention in the greentext.

It won an award but tbh it's nothing too advanced. Just well put together.

>> No.6505754

Just pick a bunch of specific/deep things and string them together.

Why do you keep coming to /sci/ for advice? I don't believe most of the people here have even gone to college much less have written a bachelor's thesis. Ask people at your school for fuck's sake.

>> No.6506711

OP, you've already lost. Eveyone I know has put 6 months of daily work into their bachelor thesis. No matter how high your IQ, you're never ever gonna write the thesis within 1 week.

I wrote mine in a week, but then again I had solid data, an abnormally long background in STEM, and a 140+ IQ.

I still only got a B, good luck anon. And remember, always close a sale with, 'would you like fries with that, sir?'
