Haha, I didn't realise this was a different role. Are the responsibilties basically the same?

[werdna]

I was just thinking - this initiative will really help you if you do all the specified work during the year!! At the end of it, you'll have a good set of essays, and you'll be able to see the vast improvements you've made.

You could even print out the essays, along with the constructive criticism other members have given you, and that would be a really good study resource come exam time!

Check your PMs and also the first post - I've highligted your name in bold with your responsibility next to it.

Do you wanna quit?

Oh btw, I'm studying On the Waterfront, Ransom, The Shark Net and a Streetcar named Desire.
And I was wondering, when you said that we need to critique 2/3 of the essays in the same section, is that 2 or 3 or two thirds? If it's two thirds how many essays should we be expecting to critique? (Btw, I'm not in anyway opposed to it, in fact im sure it would be good practice to be able to look critically at a piece of writing
Thanks so much for the time you're sacrificing for this - it's legendary

I meant two or three essays.

To clarify, there will now be NO capped limit on the amount of members. I was planning on capping the amount because it'd be a battle trying to chase up everyone for late work and also checking whether everyone has done their fair share of work. BUT, I've got two members helping with this, so it's all good now.  

Since we will be relying on each other to provide advice, there will now be less reliance on the essay markers listed on page 1. Their role will only be an occasional one, marking essays whenever they can.

The more members signing up, the better!

Cool, that's better

Out of interest, who will be composing their essays on computer and who will be composing them on paper and then scanning them in?

If I can get the scanner working, it'll be all handwritten.. I want to be timing myself properly this time round and not typing every single essay up and besides, it's harder for the lurkers to copy and paste.

Do we have to scan it? Personally, I would prefer to type it up!?
