dont let the paperwork put you off though! Yes, there is a lot of work, and yes, you do feel like a rabbit caught in the headlights a lot of the time, BUT, most of the essays are usually on things that are really interesting, and seeing as you want to be a MW, you will have an interest and passion in and therefore find them interesting to write rather than a chore - cor, dont i sound swotty!!!!????? It might just be me, but essays whilst tiresome is where i do the vast amount of my learning. This self directed study thing is all well and good, but it is hard to find the time usually, therefore, when it comes to the essays, the research and background reading is where you do most of the learning.
Give me a dissertation anyday, rather than a viva, now they are scary!!
