From the Archive - DiS meets Panda Bear: "I feel like the music I like the best is exclusively pop stuff"
I see what you did there
Not if it fills an entire
A4 page.
Or if it finishes
The End?
Or
It was all a dream. Or was it?
Oh God
Please do this. I asked a tutor once if he wanted our work written in any particular format and he gave a really sarcastic "No" in front of the whole class, so I did it all in size 72.
that's a waste of ink/paper
/printing credit isn't it? but you sure showed him!!
FUCK YOU
I GAVE YOU A HUG. It was actually in the Maths computer room where we have unlimited printer credit. And I didn't hand it in because I was scared. And then I failed the unit because I didn't have enough marked work. So I was supposed to do an exam to make up for it but I didn't want to, so I almost got kicked out. But everything's OKAY now.
oh!
i didn't see it! ({)
i'm glad everything is ok champ, good to hear. i want unlimited printer credit. i would print cheats for GTA, like we did in year 7.
Not necessarily
But the marker will probably mark you down for it. If it's a rhetorical question, why bother, when you can just write down the answer?
was that a rhetorical question?
i
was actually being serious. oops.
whats the context?
give us the sentence.
loads of published articles end with: ?
so i wouldnt worry about it really.
you cant always
do the same thing in uni/school essays that you can for published stuff though. They have stupid rules you have to go by and stuff.
i don't really remember school.
Maybe not pretentious
but usually a solid conclusion is what's called for, related back to the question. Unless you're going to pull the switcheroo, and pose the question back to the examiner. Split his mind clear in twain!
In an essay
you should probably be answering, or at least attempting to answer all the questions you're asking, so I'd say it probably isn't a very good idea...
i think asking questions is just as important as answering them..
it means you're really thinking about the questions raised, and in answering these it often raises new issues/thoughts/etc..
yeah but not in the CONCLUTION.
i disagree.
depending on the essay topic.
plus if you write a conclution you'll lose marks.
they only want conclusions these days.
so that's what i've been doing wrong
Yeah
some of my art based courses are so pretentious you could probably hand in what is essentially just a question and get a first.
umm, it's not ideal
put something stupid after it just like "that remains to be seen" or whatever fits in the context, probably.
nah, just silly
there are simpler ways to create a similar effect
thius lady answered with a ? and look what happened...

Where's MrScagden when you need him eh
You called
I have seen it done, but only by horribly pretentious types who end their literature essays:
'and surely what else can a great novel aspire towards being?'
I would say in most circumstances I can think of, avoid.
my friend ended his General Studies politics essay exam
"Les Dennis, would you?"
