I am doing dissertation today and just cannot look at it anymore i am sick of it. it is due in soon so i could hand it in just now. I feel it is a lot of rubbish and i am so scared i am going to fail but dont have the energy to change it or even look at it.
My tutor is hopeless and i have no confidence in her. what should i do? should i hand it in and hope for the best or what?
I did a lot of work over the summer on it and am just sick of it now. has anyone else felt like this?

I was in exactly the same position a year ago, when I handed mine, and here's what I did:
Hide all of the books a sources you've been using, perhaps in a cupboard or under your bed. Close down your PC.
Wait until it's really cold outside and then go for a run, for as long as you can; the more worn out you are when you get back the better- I managed an hour. Aim to get back at night.
You'll be feeling pretty rough upon your return, so have a warm shower and a nice cup of tea, then go to bed. Think nothing of your work.
The next morning two things will have happened; your bones will be absolutely aching after last night's exercise so you won't want to go anyway or do anything other than sit in your nice warm room. But, at the same time, the exercise would have meant that your concentration and enthusiasm has increased- so get those books out again and turn on the PC, and do some final editing!
It worked for me, and I wish you all the best!

I know how you're feeling! I'm also in the midst of dissertation hell!
When is yours due? If you have a little bit of time, I would just give yourself a tiny break and a treat for having done loads of work on a topic that you are probably hating right now! Even if it's just for a little while, like a day or an afternoon - do something really nice.
Then, I would come back and give it one more go - read it through, do some editing, ask a friend or family member to read it and give advice, put in some more pictures, polish it up. Even if it's agony, at least when you hand it in you can feel like you gave it that last bit of effort.
It's a big piece of work that you have devoted a lot of your time and effort to, and it is important for your degree, so it would be worth it to just go the final stretch.
Good luck x

Everyone is feeling this way, I think the best thing to do would be to take a break and then this evening just go over it once more and see if there are any bits you can change. Go to the university and ask for a change of tutor if possible, or ask around to see if someone else who does your degree has a dissertation tutor you could ask for some advice. Just don't give up, you'll regret it if you get a bad mark! Good luck!

What is the topic? Many people would be more than happy to help you out and look over it. With little time left, it might be difficult to have someone read through it thoroughly, but someoen will at least take a look! Take it to a library. You will find someone there willing to look it over.

What is the subject? What i would suggest is that you speak to the dissertation subject coordinator and voice your concerns to that indivual. Or if you are friendly with other lectures, ask if they will take you onboard.
Sorry i cant be much help, i was lucky to have a brilliant dissertaion tutor!
if you want help (if its hr/marketing/strategy) then u can email me

I didnt finish mine! I just got so bored. I changed the topic about 4 times too. try starting a new section and forget the rest of it/ rethink methodology for example or change something to make it more interesting!

Since you have put in a lot of efforts to complete it, now it is the turn of others to judge it. Let them judge it from their perspective.Do not worry at all and have good time.At the stage in which you are now, no dessert writer feels satisfied with his work.You are no exception.Submit it and let the things take its own course.

John Lennon - Happy Xmas (War Is Over)
Happy Xmas Yoko
Happy Xmas John
So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas
I hope you'll have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And, so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Christmas
And what have we done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And, so happy Christmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over, now
Happy Christmas
