The very fist question I usually get is ''"How much do I have to write?"''. As far as I know, there is no official number anywehere, so I'm just going to speak from experience: A master's thesis most probably non-rejectable on the basis of ''"too few text"'' if it consists of absolute minimum of 40-50 A4 pages of content, not including the front page, acknowledgements, table of contents, bibliography & appendices. That is, the Conclusion Section should appear on page 40-50. | The very fist question I usually get is ''"How much do I have to write?"''.

| Most scientific contributions were achieved in a team and it is therefore customary to write in plural, as in ''"we present"'', ''"we implemented"'' and ''"we conclude that..."''. Writing in plural is so widespread in scientific writing that one is expected to use ''"we"'' even when being the single author of the work, although one may feel a little pompous. |
