Criticism can be both positive and negative ( but you imply that it is only negative though ? )

edit: But in this case most of it is negative I suppose if not all...

The fact that it is negative shouldn't be an issue, most of it is constructive feedback, which is really the only thing that matters. But he probably should have just made it a blog. He would have received less attention, and therefore less negative feedback

Isn't standard essay format something like:

intro: introduce shit, hook or something like that, thesis
3-5 body paragraphs: each one different point supporting thesis
conclusion: summarize points and such

I haven't written an essay in forever so maybe I'm wrong but I think this is how it's done? This just seems like a bunch of random info on SC thrown together and doesn't have any focus. Always cool to write about SC though.

Standard essay formats are really fucking terrible. They encourage the writing of papers that have a severe lack of analysis and fall back to summary in order to meet length or format requirements. Well-written papers do not rely on cookie-cutter builds. Rather, they make their point to their reader as effectively and efficiently as possible.

This idea is the big jump from grade school level writing to university level writing that people do not seem to get.

Naw it wasn't the helpful comments.. it was the ones who said i'm dumb and stuff...

yeah my writing isn't good and all but you know what... at least i tried...

I didn't have that much time to do it though so.. yeaaah... lol


On the bright side, now you won't be surprised when it's handed back to you with a failing grade.
Teamwork is awesome... As long as your team is doing all the work!

Pretty much that.

Oh and is he doomed?

And yeah... I agree... some of that information seems unnecessary and would probably make it even worst than not having them at all...

you admitted that you basically shit this out and didn't even bother giving it any kind of flow or anything. So yeah, you will have a bunch of comments telling you how you're dumb and lazy, that you're going to fail and that you're not deserving of someone taking their time to give you in depth commentary because you couldn't be bothered to put decent effort into work you're getting graded on

sure says a lot about your respect level for the community that you shit this thing out and expect everyone to help do your homework for you just because it's about SC. People here would help if you were a bad writer but actually tried, even just a little. You did not, you're a terrible writer, and the comments and grade will reflect that

Not wanting to jack a thread, but if anyone is interested, this was my essay on Tasteless and Artosis. It's not amazing, but it may cause you to look at their casting in a different light, and I managed to get an A- with it (which I was surprised with considering I wrote it in one sitting.)

https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0Byqk8dNZQpFLZWMyOGU2ZmUtZDE3OS00OTYyLTgzYjYtMGI3ODMwYzkxYjgz&hl=en

Who knows, maybe it'll give some inspiration for others to write essays from the SC2 world for their university work.

Edit: Also, ignore the transcript at the bottom. I forgot to crop that from the document.

Man, this is a terrible essay. I wrote better essays when I was in High School. Doing something like this last minute is no excuse, it's really that bad =_=.

And you may differ StarCraft 2 from the whole StarCraft, for a better understanding.
