+ with many people catching up on holiday homework
I think activity shot up today (like 3 new essays posted). Most likely due to severe procrastination (that was my case anyway). :)

Hey, in the next assessment report, can you add that people need to avoid imposing their own opinions in their essays, and use more formal and less conversational language.

Sure, thanks for the input. ;)
werdna:
Is anyone willing to provide some general, overall advice for February Week One?
schmalex:
This is really just an extension of what I said before, but people need to be clear, concise, and stick to their message. A good way of doing this is to read it out loud. Does it sound right? Does it make sense? Are you deviating from the purpose of the essay (to explain the way that language is USED TO PERSUADE.) People need to focus on clearly explaining the effect specific phrases and language devices are supposed to have on readers, and not just explaining the writer's contention and the issue. Contextualising the issue should only really take a couple of seconds. The examiners don't need a complete history of the issue and where it is going. I'll find examples later if I can be botered :P
