TASP 2018

question: is it due on Tuesday evening? So it is not due today?

@TechTechnic I don’t think there’s a strict form. You absolutely do not need 3 paragraphs with each dedicated to a question.

@carrotchild yeah but there’s a word limit… and the fact that he has 3 essays means they are more like paragraphs

@MangoLover11223 Yup! I found myself being able to fit quite a few paragraphs in the word limit though, and I was talking more about how strict the form had to be rather than length.

Guess who’s rewriting their second essay the day before the deadline ;-;

How many books/movies/newspapers have you mentioned? I believe I mentioned 12 in total and I think it’s still very few books/movies.

26 more hours of editing to go!!!
Also, did any of you guys italicize the title of the sessions? When explaining your preferences?

I mentioned more than 12, but I dont think the number matters that much. As long as you conveyed your personal list the best you can, that is fine.

@Acortez122 I don’t think it works on the textbox :’(

hmm my essays felt rather sketchy (esp. #3!!!) but i suppose at some point you’ve just got to turn it in and move on. i probably could’ve spent another 23842 hours worrying about word choice and how i portrayed myself etc., but aside from completely scrapping the essay, there really wasn’t anything i could do that would definitively improve it (i think)

idk y’all those essays were reaaally difficult (and time-consuming) to write, so in a sense, i’m pretty glad that they’re over. gl procrastinators!!

For prompt #2, do you think it’d be ok if I referred to related content (I’m talking about a movie, so this would touch on reviews of/articles about the movie that I saw before I watched the movie) in my analysis - as a rather large part of it?

@SeattleDreamer My thoughts exactly! It just feels a lot better to get it over with and relieve the burden. My #3 was quite sketchy as well…

OMG! I can’t believe that I actually clicked on the submit button!! @SeattleDreamer I can totally relate. I didn’t know about TASP until the Christmas and I literally hoped that I had more time to work on my essays… even though it was a long and tired process, it was fun as well. Good luck to those that haven’t submitted yet!

@carrotchild @cxnxicee omg me too! since submitting, i’ve deleted the TASP bookmark, moved my essays deep into some part of my unorganized folders (where i’ll have trouble finding them), and tried to forget about it until March but uhhhh that hasn’t been working out that well lol

@SeattleDreamer @cxnxicee Same!! I didn’t start until January 5th and ohh boy, that was not a good decision on my part :’) Anyway it’s all done!! Can’t wait to come back here in March & hopefully hear from y’all?

Same!! Good luck everyone!

@carrotchild ooh essay cramming is rough (@ myself) and for sure! although i may be on here cough quite a few times before then…

honestly you guys changed my perception on CC! People on other threads are pretty mean lol, but you guys are really helpful &nice! I really hope that we can all get into TASP and meet one another :smiley:

Hey quick question that I would appreciate any response to… how are you guys writing the essay about the books, movies, etc? Are you writing in paragraph form or just listing?
Thanks!

@MangoLover11223 didn’t the question ask us to list
