Look, I don't want to shit on you, but I went to university too and this shit you've just posted is embarrassing for your university. It is written as layman as possible using terms such as "lame" and "wishy-washy", and even provides an example of how they want you to write your answer which is handholding to a ludicrous degree. Finally, a 400-600 word essay is barely even an essay. You can fit that onto a single piece of paper at 12-point font. All of my essays from university clocked in at least 1000 words, with the average essay containing 2000 words. I mean, surely universities didn't change that much in the four years since I've graduated, could it?

While I might not disagree with their choice to use a videogame as the topic in their class, or that the game chosen is as shitty as Dragon Age, tasks like "review Dragon Age" are hardly critical thinking.

The part about Dragon Age may or may not be fake, but this whole xxx page essay thing is completely real. I'm in my first year of college, and so far, the three essays I've had to do for English were 450-500, 550-600, and one that had no word limit or cap at all.

Also, here's a fun tidbit. In our class, we do a writer's workshop of sorts where we have to proofread and critique three other people's papers. For the 550-600 page essay, the first paper I received was not even written in any format whatsoever, let alone MLA (it was bold, italicized, and centered, with just his name in the left corner), the second paper was written in under 300 words and did not have a conclusion (she didn't feel it was necessary), and the third paper was not only written so fucking poorly, but it was covering a completely different topic instead of the one we had to do for our paper.

Amerifat education, everyone.

To a degree, yeah, but I feel that the same applies to university as well. Real hit-or-miss regardless.

For example, when I took my basic Biology course in CC, my teacher was somewhat new to teaching. She would constantly arrive 10-15 minutes late to class every week. She would act mad whenever people left when class was over instead of staying for the rest of the lecture (since she was late.) I, for one, had a class afterwards so I couldn't stay even if I wanted to. That said, all she ever did was read verbatim off the power point slides yet she would never post them online.

A community college is low-cost and only offers basic courses and training programs. You cannot complete a 4-year degree at CC, but you can complete a 2-year one and pick up some gen ed. From there, you can enter the workforce or apply for merit or need-based scholarships at proper universities, transfer applicable credits, and work towards completing a four year degree in the major of your choice.

KEK, I usually have to do multiple 2000 word essays every month and I never even thought that someone studying in uni would get off any easier. Also, the language I'm typing in generally uses less words to explain things than english does, so in practice my essays are something like 6-8x longer than yours.

I can write two pages in a day and still have time to cook, jerk off, nap, play videogames, work out, and sleep.

You'd have 10 pages done by the end of the night if you put as much effort into your retarded essays as writing bullshit on the internet. Is this a fucking joke?

Students today are goddamn lazy.

Mate, Second Life, of all things, is not someplace you want a serious classroom discussion.

Skype for Business, or literally any VOIP client can do much more than a shitty porn sim stuck in the era of myspace. Complete

Origins is a good game and the only one really worth playing. I've beaten it quite a few times.

Everyone bitches about the fade but it's actually really linear and the best part of the game to level your characters because you get a lot of really dank passive stat bonuses. Do that part of the game first.

The only part of the game that actually sucks is the deep roads because it's just a slog. It's probably a third of the game and it takes forever. Do that last.

Wynne morrigan alistaire is the best party combo.

Eh, I'm slow at it, but I'm not bad.
Takes me a while to get the correct answer, but I do get the correct answer.

Relevant.

These people will be voting socialist in the next general election. There is nothing you can do to stop them. Buy guns, food and ammunition.

>tfw got joint major English/History bachelor degree and then just ducked off to South Korea to tutor English for two years
>came back, got my masters using my savings, used connections I'd built up while networking abroad to get in on a translation project where I got to move back to Korea and have nearly all my living expenses covered while I just translated and archived important historical documents into English with a few friends
>we could literally work as little or as much as we wanted to so long as we hit our monthly quotas and fudged our reports to make our weekly working hours look consistent
>literally the comfiest, easiest job of my life while it lasted - and we'll paying to boot
>come home again, but this time don't walk my way into another easy foreign job
>end up having to get an office job in my city press office
>earning less while working more
>got a gf, but despite me desperately wanting to just go back to Korea to tutor and enjoy an easy life again for a year or two I know she'd never go with me, and I love her too much to break up
>pretty sure I started too late to ever seriously progress up the chain of command, will always be lower down than the handful of people who work with me that joined up right after college and are now my age with seven years more experience

Haha...being an arts student sure worked out great....

Holla atcha boy.
I know a dumbfuck in Denmark who is the complete opposite; amazingly enthusiastic about math, absolute garbage with the English language. All he fucking does whenever I talk to him is reply with memes.
Fucking memes.
You should see his Facebook and Twitter feed. It's a nightmare.

Fuck you, Janus. And you too, Kyle. I know you're in here.
