It is disconcerting that some people are even attempting to write technical essays: these account for a major portion of your grade! More importantly, they account for a major part of your professional portfolio!
Some essays look like they were written in about five minutes. Moving forward I am going to become increasinly strict about the standards for an acceptable essay in terms of length and insight. Don’t think that a three paragraph, 6 sentence essay that simply reprises some definitions will be good enough in future!
On the bright side, some of you are starting to “run with” these essays, and imbue them with your own personality and opinions. That’s great! Think of all of them put together as your chance to tell the tech community about yourself, your value system, and how you perceive software development.
