A little deadline confusion
I handed in my concept document, only to find out I didn’t really had to. How I made my mistake? This was how the deadline was communicated to me:
“Hand in 1 final version “thesis” (Dutch with English summary or English) and 1 final version of your individual project to MA-tutor (if possible and if your teacher told you so, if not, you don’t have to hand the project in yet)”
For some reason I was sloppy reading what was between the ( ). Maybe, because usually what’s between ( ) is not that important, but this time it was inverting the message. Mental note: always triple check deadline communication. In a way this is the best thing that could happen, because I would never have put so much effort in the concept documentation otherwise.
Because of a seperate deadline confusion (teacher gave me another week, but should not have), I now have an extra week for my thesis.
To complete the deadline picture; August 25 are my Exams, and 13 and 14 of September is the Expo at the HKU in Hilversum.
