IB is my personal blog #6

Well, I'm fucked.

2 weeks for 1000 words? You should be fine.

I'm not concerned about the word count. Once I actually know what I'm gonna do it'll only take 5 hours max. I'm concerned on how vague a question can get, especially considering many of the students is still in their freshman year.

Vague is good, it probably means they aren't looking to punish anyone or grade particularly hard. If you can ask your prof questions this would be a good time to try to determine the direction he wants you to go on this(don't harass him too much though, they hate that).

I didn't understand any of that. Good luck.

Yeah, my prof fortunately is a good guy, he's even willing to give anyone a call if they don't understand the question. I do, but it's just ..... not using any kind of statute as a specific example.



I lol'd on your little footnote.

>due date

I saw that.

This essay just spells doom for all the lazy college kids. Luck on this essay.

Ha... This is why I prefer drawing over words...

Pfft your smart enough for this, make shit up like i do~

The prompt is a really long sentence

Just don't be a lazy fucker like me you'll do fine.

That made no sense to me.

Good luck.

I got lost.

lol sounds easy mate....





I thought you Brits would understand this. I was expecting some help from one of you at least :(

I have little knowledge about that kind of stuff.

Poorly worded question! I share your anger, devs. It is like reading a leonard267 post!

Let me break it down for my own pleasure. Thank you devs for giving me the opportunity to hone my skills in making sentences easier:

i. A High Court Decision deemed an statute enacted by the government unconstitutional or against the law.

ii. The government sees this as a very serious setback to their attempts to change the way laws are made (legislative reform).

iii. It is more serious than a decision by a State Supreme Court judge.

iv. That decision is to interpret the law (or to be more precise a key statement in a statute) differently from the Government.

v. We know this because a minister made a speech about how the Government interprets it.

Summary:

1. High Court deems Government action (or to be more accurate, an enacted statute) as unconstitutional.

2. State Supreme Court interprets Government action differently from the Government.

3. Why 1 is worse than 2 in the eyes of the government in terms of trying to change the way laws are made?

PS: I think the answer is already given. It has something to do with the Government's ability to carry out legislative reform. Now the challenge is to use 1000 words to talk about it.

PPS: I wouldn't want to disagree with the premise that 1 is worse than 2.

PPPS: I think if I were the person who set the question I may as well write the question in the manner of the 'summary'.

PPPPS: Supposing that I am given this assignment, I will build an effigy of the person who set the question and holler at him, demanding why he chose to set the question like how leonard267 writes.

Strategy:

a. Explain the interests of the Government.

b. Explain what happens when a court says that a statute is unconstitutional.

c. Explain what happens when a court interprets a statute differently.

d. Explain the difference between a High Court and a State Supreme Court decision.

(Explanations for b,c,d must reflect the how it affects the ability of the Government to enact legislative reform)

e. Conclude why is it worse for the Government.

ED: I am not a Brit but I am from a former British colony. For my part, that attempt is amateurish. I know little about Business Law (I am taking a Marketing module though) but I love to pick apart sentences. This is my take on it. I hope that when the professor is consulted, he would concur with whatever that was written in this post.

Don't you need to back your thesis using whatever context he provided in the folder? If you read the material and still feel lost, at least take advantage of your professor's assistance for clarification. For 1000 words, I'm guessing he doesn't expect his students to cover much ground in the first place.

Good luck on the paper bro.

It is. This essay is easier than you think.

Also, I know what this essay wants and is talking about. I r smrt.

Fuck. 1000 words is a little too less if you got lots of key points but you can't condense them further.
