Again, not to belabor the point, but you’re most likely writing a thesis, not a dissertation.
A thesis is generally a 3 to 6 months project assuming it’s a college graduation project. I was fortunate enough to write 2. Both had 6 months allotted for it.
Probably at least 3 months of that is research, reading articles, formulating hypotheses, testing. Then it’s writing, rewriting, more reading, more testing, more rewriting, rinse and repeat until your coordinator says its good enough to graduate.
The term ‘dissertation’ is mostly reserved for PhD level theses, not your regular bachelor/master thesis. A PhD level thesis is generally a minimum of a 4 year project including 2-3 years of those for research if not more and then the same rinse repeat cycle of testing, writing, more testing, rewriting, more research until it’s done.
So please do yourself a favor and stop saying you think you did a whole lot of work with 2 days and 8hrs of research.
It makes you look foolish, out of touch with reality and (grossly over)entitled.
