Quote From anks:
hi, I have submitted my MPhil dissertation in history and i realised while working on a paper presentation that the time period I have worked on is wrongly mentioned in my dissertation. the cover page is correct. but the content and the chapters title has wrong time period mentioned. it should have been 1504- 1605 rather than 1504-1605.
Apart from the space between the hyphen and 1605 in your first example, I can't see a difference. Can you explain to us what the mistake means? It is probably not as big an issue as you fear.
