For a moment there, I thought you meant 209 pages of notes... *whew!* I think the meaning is that the diss had 184 pages of text, plus 25 pages of notes, totaling 209 pages of text and notes together. There's no indication of how many actual notes there were. |

oops. sorry for the confusion. 25p of notes.
Not sure how many there are--somewhere around 150 or 175, i think.
My dissertation is unusual in that it has three mega-chapters (50p) instead of 5 regular sized (30p) ones.
But yeah, only 25 p of notes and another 15 or so of Bibliography.

Would people care to share how many chapters they wrote?

Six chapters. The norm in my field is five, but I had two chapters of lit review (see earlier post). I labeled the lit reviews Chapter 2A and Chapter 2B, to keep my committee from getting confused. (This way, Chapter 3 was still methodology, Ch.4 the findings, and Ch.5 the conclusions and recommendations, just like a typical dissertation.) |

I think the obsessing over length is destructive for PhD students, but with that said, the longest I remember seeing was in an office I took over from an emeritus professor. It was over 900 pages in two volumes, each 3 inches thick or so. It was typewritten, so of course had fewer words per page than todays word processed thesis, but still, yeeesh.
