edit: is the page length an official department requirement? if not, you might have enough ... in any case, i'd maybe go to your advisor and have them look at what you have so far and ask them to make suggestions. either they'll say it's fine as is or ask you to extend it in X, Y, Z way, which will be helpful, since then you'll know exactly what to elaborate upon. | ||

Make sure the scope is not too broad and not too focused. It seems obvious but I used to always think I was being very specific but I was actually speaking in very broad terms because I had not narrowed down my topic adequately. GL | ||

Edit: I'm only half kidding. Some of the best - and worst - philosophy articles I've read have contained page-length block quotations. | ||

It was about brand loyalty and celebrity endorsement's impact on fashion retail. If by "submitted it" you mean that I had to do a presentation then no. There was no thesis defense, so no one noticed. The only hard evidence of research we had to submit together with the paper were audio recordings of the focus groups we conducted. As far as I know, in many countries you are not required to do a presentation of a thesis for Master's degree. I got my Master's degree in France and I didn't have to either. | ||

She wrote a first version that was kinda bad and way too short, her written English wasn't very good, and it was the first time she had to write such a big paper so she had no proper methodology. Deadline was approaching. She did great at her finals, always was a good student, but we couldn't take the risk of failing the thesis, which would mean she'd have to stay another year in Ireland and I had just secured a job in China. So instead of trying to fix it I decided to rewrite it from scratch. Luckily, the subject was marketing which does not require any hard/technical skill. I don't wanna derail the blog further, I first mentioned my wife's thesis just to encourage OP and show him it was possible to write a decent 100+ pages paper in 10 days. Please PM me if more questions. | ||

In that case they have a disadvantage to people who arent good at it (most likely double so much words for the same topic with same coverage). That might be true, even though it's often a defensive position for people who simply aren't good writers - and this is meant as no offense, I had similar problems in high school. It's also a little flawed argument, if you're good at explaining things with a few words, you can also give examples and/or go into more details, see what Plexa wrote. If someone has a disadvantage here, it's the people who haven't been forced to train writing correctly over and over again, or the ones receiving little to no feedback from their mentors and peers. | ||
