<p>Quick Question- How much does length matter? Because while all of my essays are pretty good (though my topic of interest one is the best by far), I don’t think any of them are going to go over 700-750 words, and I don’t want to pad. </p>
<p>Any opinions?</p>
<p>After submitting it says to keep your name and transaction id to track the status, but for me, that section was blank. Should I email them or is it not important?
Sorry if it was already discussed.</p>
<p>@cmm345: I think you’re fine. Mine are like that too although I think a few are close to 1000.</p>
<p>Is 200 words of plot summary too much for essay #1?</p>
<p>My transaction ID is blank too. But I received an email saying that I should check back in 1-3 days.</p>
<p>Ok this talk about deadline is really confusing me. What is the deadline in eastern time?</p>
<p>3 a.m. Tuesday morning.</p>
<p>@dunbar, I don’t think it’s too much, as long as it’s relevant to your thesis.</p>
<p>Also, if we quote our novel, do we need citations?</p>
<p>^I would say so, yes.</p>
<p>Gah, my problem essay is 1550 words and I haven’t finished the conclusion yet. <em>brings out cutting tools</em></p>
<p>Who else is writing entirely non-intellectual essays? Or am I all aloney in my non-intellectuallness? :p</p>
<p>So far I have four and a half essays done, 2 finalized. My conflict essay is definitely my best by far. Still need to edit two and and finish my critical analysis. </p>
<p>Woot, almost done. What a relief :)</p>
<p>define nonintellectual. I would think the very nature of these essays makes most of them intellectual.</p>
<p>I still need to do the one where you rank the programs…
and then work on my literary analysis. The others are ok…I may revise them a little bit</p>
<p>Ugh my literary analysis is awful! I’m thinking about switching books…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Lol, I mean I’m not writing anything with philosophical thoughts like on Socrates or quantum mechanics or hypotheses on the panopticon or whatsits thingamabobs. My essays are all firmly grounded in teenage, non-academic material. (I would say my essay topics but I really don’t want my CC account to be linked to real-life me in any way, haha).</p>
<p>I’m hoping that my essay reader is not a creationist.</p>
<p><em>prays</em></p>
<p>I wrote all of my essays except for 1 and the book list. i still need to write my critical analysis. The deadline is MONDAY right?</p>
<p>Does everything have to be submitted tonight by 11:59:59?</p>
<p>I believe that the deadline is 11:59:59 PST tomorrow, Monday.</p>
<p>As for how “intellectual” or not our essays are, mine vary. My problem essay seems about as non-intellectual as they come; it’s mostly about my difficulties connecting with other people and how I reacted to that. My critical analysis is pretty intellectual though – it’s on a non-fiction book that is all about changing attitudes… among the intelligentsia. I hope they won’t view me as too pretentious or anything; I mean, I chose the book because I was interested in it, not for appearances or anything. And then my anything-goes essay is kinda random, it’s pretty intellectual, but it doesn’t really fit into any one field of study, and I don’t think it’s a question that too many people have dealt with, whether or not humans are still evolving.</p>
<p>All done!!! Good luck to everyone else!! You all can do it :)</p>
<p>wait is it due today by 11:59 or tomorrow by 11:59??</p>
<p>b/c yeah, same, i still have to write my critical analysis…</p>
<p>I hit submit! Good luck everybody!
(BTW did anyone else get a blank transaction ID thing??)</p>
