25000 words means around 100 pages. Assuming 40% of it will be reusable (background and research premise). You have to write about 60 pages, of which around 50% will be charts and tables. Doable in 5 days if your data is alright.

Luckily, there are many burger-flipping jobs open for people who could only manage a bachelor's degree. And, yes, I'll have fries with that.

I hope your tutor sat down with you and formulated a plan of action for this. How did you manage to go so badly off track? I hope there are chunks of it you can salvage and tweak.

By tutor do you mean faculty advisor, or another student? Because I would go to your advisor before completely rewriting everything. Everyone always has their own opinion, but your thesis committee members are the only ones who really matter at this point.

As a fellow post-grad at your university (though there are three in this city so I am guessing...) I'm quite surprised you've got to this stage, and I'm tempted to think it's not as bad as your making out. You should have an appeal officer in your department who you can speak to as well as another specialist in your field who can look things over for you. It probably can be edited into something that's usable. You could speak to the Academic Advisory Service who can assist with any writing skills. I expect its impossible to change the area of your work but it might be possible to change the focus of your work. On the other hand, as a Master's student you won't have a panel or viva and so it is important that you do EVERYTHING your tutor has said as they will be probably be marking it. Good luck!

Call me crazy but a thesis can't technically be wrong, can it?

My senior design project "mentor" told us 3 weeks before our presentation that the data from our 4 month long experiment was all wrong. That whole time he never asked us how things were going.

Hi it's me! I'd totally have clicked YDI as well. My MA is only a year old at my university. It's the first year they're doing Creative Writing, so everything is still in beta mode. I picked my topic and basically wrote about what my tutor told me to. Unfortunately, due to miscommunication within the Creative Writing department, none of the lecturers were sure what I was supposed to be writing until about a month ago - so even though the research I'd done was what my tutor told me to, it's not the research I was supposed to. Thankfully, my lecturers have taken responsibility for giving me false information, and they've apologised to me and extended the deadline to the end of January. Also - I saw my tutor fortnightly and he always told me I was right on track! It just turns out I was on track with the wrong thing, haha.

There should have been more back and forth before getting to this point. Meetings, outlines, sections sent to your mentor. This is a two way street, you bugging your tutor for time and delivering works in progress (which I am assuming is a professor who is a mentor) and the professor reading your progress and guiding you in the right direction.
