(Contrary to a PhD) I was told by my supervisor that my thesis sould be about 150 pages, of those about 50 can be 'old news'. They allow these 50 pages for background information, and for me to prove that I have actually read and understand the basic concepts for what the thesis is about. Also it is nice to give the reader some introduction into the field of your study (even physicists don't know everything about everything:). Then I'm allowed about 30 pages of graphs and data, the remaining 70 pages is expected to be original reasearch. I was not under the general impression this stardard is exceptionally high for a masters. -S. >-- >GCP
