<p>For the Make Up Your Own Course one, can we add swear words on the title if pertinent to the topic? And how long should it be?</p>
<p>I can’t imagine that you would need swear words.</p>
<p>Tbh, that’s a bad idea. Don’t push the envelope like that when it’s not necessary.</p>
<p>The admissions officers I know at U Penn and Stanford would not be impressed.</p>
<p>It depends on the course whether it would be appropriate or not. In some cases I would see it as being completely inappropriate, but in others, not so bad (e.g. The $!?#% History of Movie Censorship). But that kind of leads to my next point - maybe you could just substitute a bunch of random symbols in to represent the swearing. You could try to maintain the same effect, but get rid of the offensive nature of it. </p>
<p>Just a thought. It’s definitely a little risky. </p>
