This is a group for students at Birkbeck College to meet, discuss, freak out, procrastinate and generally panic about their dissertation topics and everything that goes with them - how to do a literature search, what research methods to use, how to create a good dissertation plan. We also hope to have one or two 'veterans' who have been through and survived the process and can provide tips on tools and techniques. Oh - and we plan to meet up for a few drinks every fortnight or so.
