(2) You probably do not have an "academic reputation" in the first place that would need salvaging. (3) Chances are no-one is ever going to look up your Master's thesis, except possibly a grad school admission committee if you try to pursue a PhD. (4) In that scenario, they would be comparing it not with an Ideal Piece of Text but with other Master's theses, which (surprise surprise) are also filled with grammatical mistakes and "nonsensical flow". | |

| Apr 23 at 15:50 | comment | added | BrajkovicM | I do not know if it is an overreaction. I would like to continue my journey in academia of course. I have learnt from my mistakes and I would never ever do something similar again. I just wanted to know other opinions regarding this topic. | |
| Apr 23 at 15:41 | comment | added | schrödingcöder | Might this be a bit of an overreaction and perfectionism? The thesis might not be that bad after all to fuss about. But yes, if you can replace it with a corrected version, go ahead, at least for the peace of mind. | |

| Apr 23 at 15:34 | comment | added | Per Alexandersson | You probably only care about academic reputation if you stay in academia. And most people do not read master's projects, but papers. So, be more careful with your first paper, and you'll be fine. | |
| Apr 23 at 15:23 | comment | added | BrajkovicM | Thank you Nate Eldredge. Jon, yes I am applying. And theoretically I could request an edited version be posted instead, but my mentor would lose his calm if he found out. | |
| Apr 23 at 15:21 | comment | added | Jon Custer | Are you applying to PhD programs (about the only time anyone might look at it)? Are you able to request an edited version be posted instead? | |
