Handed in my dissertation earlier but i've just had a read through it and realised that theres a whole paragraph copied word for word out of a book! i meant to take it out as it was just in there for guidance. Any suggestions for what I should do?
There are a couple of quotes in the paragraph which havent been referenced so it will stick out from the rest of the work
anyway im starting to brick it!

If you have properly referenced the rest of your dissertation -which I presume is about 10,000 words long - then I doubt you have anything to worry about.
They may - slight chance - pull you up on it but when you explain your mistake in light of a dissertation that has been properly referenced elsewhere then you won't have a problem.
They could of course be cunts and fail you ;D

From experience, won't you have to stand up in front of your professor and tutors and fellow students and talk about your research?
Practice your bullshitting.
But really just be honest with your tutor/ prof. If they're any good they'll understand. Just explain your error.
