The graph illustrates how the state of dissertations varies in a UK university across three separate years: 1990, 2000, and 2010.
Overall, the number of projects that were completed on time and completed late increased, while those projects that failed to be written and rewritten showed a decrease over the given period. It can also be seen that among four states of dissertations, those essays that were submitted on time were most popular across three separate years: 1990, 2000, and 2010.
The number of students who finished punctually and those delayed saw a growth. In 2010, the figure for projects that were completed on time had the highest number of students, at almost 350, prior to around 200 and 150 in 2000 and 1990, respectively. Similarly, those who finish late also experience an upward trend, but at a lower pace. This figure climbed slightly from around 25 in 1990 to almost double in the next two decades. Despite these changes, project delay was still ranked second at the end of the period. In contrast, those unsuccessful assignments followed a decreasing trajectory. Commencing with 50 in 1990, this number fell moderately to more than 10 in 2010. Finally, the group of undergraduate rework rose to nearly 50 in 2000, from a starting point of approximately
no projects in 1990, before dropping modestly by 10 in 2010.
