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  | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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

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 | ||

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