Post some

College nowadays is all about protecting your fee-fees from the horrible white patriarchs. They’re not going to tell you the truth. Yea Forums will. Your writing is shit, but if you want to reconfirm this go ahead and post samples for us to mock.

Which college and what kind of professor?

Please stop posting this dead African-American a.k.a nigger

Has your college professor published any fiction?

>professor glowingly tells the class how one essay was so spectacular he read it out loud to his wife, then looks at you with intense fatherly admiration
Get on my level plebs

>tfw my professor said my essay was the best in the class
>my thesis was that Marx wasn’t a true communist since a true communist would share the women

>(((college)))
I hope nobody unironically fell for this meme.

>professor said I write like a boring grad student (I’m undergrad)
T-Thanks?

>tfw 6 years after leaving sixth form and my teacher still uses my William Blake and Anthony and Cleopatra essays as examples of how to get full marks
Feels good knowing I’ve left a legacy.

speaking seriously for a minute, I think Yea Forums is probably a lot harsher than most professors are going to be because professors recognize the value of positive reinforcement. You're probably a good writer, but it's also likely that there are a number of things you can improve upon. So take your professor's praise as a support while you focus on improving whatever things Yea Forums told you were shit (unless they were trolling)

Shit-quality bait.

>thesis counts for a huge part of final grade
>make mine about the Holocaust
>half the class fails
>I'm one of the few that approves
COMPLETE COINCIDENCE

We are comparing you to the greats and your professor is comparing you to shithead undergrads.

>>college professor said I suck dick like a pro
>You guys said I suck dick like an amateur

I remember how profs used to jerk me off about how good my writing was. Feels good man.

>tfw Yea Forums told me my writing was decent, but I think it's shit

I just can't win.

In High School, my essays got shown to the seniors who were 2 years above me as examples. I have no idea if they're still being used.

>Had multiple professors praise my work as an undergrad
>'reminds me of my writing at your age'
>'best paper in the class by far'
>'you have a beautiful mind'
>'one of my best students'
But instead of going to grad school and living a comfy academic life I got a job out of school and now (15 years later) am discontented in an upper-management job. The money is good but the work is not.

I should have stayed in school anons.

teaching kids is horrible tho why would you wanna do that

What do you think management (my current job) is? It's essentially 'teaching' (leading, directing, teaching, babysitting, etc) a bunch of adults who were never even very good in school. It's not like college students suddenly mature after they graduate and come work for me. I have 60+ year old employees that might as well be in high school.

>a liberal said my writings deserved a gold star
No shit.

you shouldnt listen to anyone here

>Except me, of course!

Wrong board. Get out of here with your parentheses.

based

Beat liberals at their own game

I can't write for shit and for some reason my literature teacher just decided one day that I was destined to be a writer and started giving me straight As and reading all of my essays to the whole class.
She even fucking registered me for my college's short story contest without my consent and submitted an old creative writing assignment I wrote during my first year.

Was she hot?

>guy I paid praised my work
whoa

Last time a teacher told me my writing was good was in elementary school when I was top of the class at creative shit. Fast forward a decade or so and all I've been writing is bland, boring "persuasive" essays and other such shit. It's like they want to suck the creativity out of us

Nope, she was like 50 and looked like a witch. She had huge tits though for some reason.

College professors and their taste are passé

Not a good thing, sweatie.

Yikes

>Needs validation from a pondscum scholar
If any university professor past the 17th century likes your work immediately after it's written then you have failed

isnt jordan peterson openly pro establishment?

He's at best trying not to hurt your feelings and at worst trying to goad you into wasting money and years of your life on an MFA.

Post it and we'll give you an honest critique. No bully.

Academics tend to view work through the lens of craft whereas random guys on an image board are dogmatic about their tastes.

Get off of Yea Forums, Dad.

Bruh lol
I wish I was still this naive

Everyone wants me to kms but I survived, we're literally the same ppl

>brilliant professor lauded my writing and took a personal interest in me
>start sabotaging myself and handing in awful, unedited work to disappoint them as a defense mechanism
I still want to die

>tfw college professors makes us write an essay based on cultural impact of movie
>instead wrote 5 pages about how terrible the movie was
>get extra credit and professor rambles to class how great my essay was.

UC Berkeley is a fucking joke.

Yes, but also subtly attempting to recuperate right-wing discontent by making liberalism appear as traditional, even in opposition to the normal order.

A lot of you might be memeing but this did happen to me.

>took English I last spring semester
>professor said I didn't need to submit a final draft because the first was perfect, it was on the level of a grad student, was the best essay she received from a student at that school, and she also lauded me in front of the entire class
>got to leave the final class after thirty minutes because the rest of it was dedicated to revising
>memorized the entire conversation because of how good it made me feel

This gave me a writer's high for a while but I came down from it since then.

there's always someone who will like and someone who will hate your writing

I'm a grad student and my writing is probably worse than it was at the end of undergrad desu

What film?

I wrote so great my teacher got jealous and gave me shit grades until I fucked him

>telling lies on an anonymous cambodian knitting board

why?

it's really not hard. just use some long words that aren't usually used, obscure references, some unusual metaphors that are borderline schizophrenic and looooong sentences.
an example: men today are like the theban lochos minus the comradeship (gays) with the virology of leopoldian congolese (aids), the ingenuity of an objectivist (retard) and the acquiescence less than that of a child cartoon Deuteragonist (bluepilled).
he will either ask you what is this gibberish or he will praise you and tell you that you should be a writer.

Not him but all user did was write an esaay.
Cope better

It is shit . college professors are mediocrities which makes you below a mediocrity...

>without my consent
RAPE

if you read any other of your class' papers, they will seem practically illiterate. seriously, ((college)) is a fucking joke. they are all retarded. vast majority of them are writing on a middle school level.

>peer review day
>pick the girl who looks like she at least writes good even if her politics might be dumb (fat girl with some weird gender identity who dresses like a clown)
>shitty writing style, disconnected ideas, occasional typos, can't follow MLA, misuses semicolons
>realize I was truly alone in that class

I like to imagine that the outrageously untruthful stuff here is actually true. Life becomes far more entertaining with stories like that in the world.

i write like an autist and my english professor still wanted me to join her grad program because i could write coherent sentences compared to my class. it was sad. ended up going STEM because i'm a chad.

The class was otherwise one of my favorites in college. Lot of good times and stories there.

I feel bad for him.

this but unironically. im the only smart poster on Yea Forums

>have a thick drawl, dress blue collar
>class is all about analyzing other cultures

Fool. I actually am a redneck. I have learned nothing from your class and I still think India is a shit hole.

So did I. Some people should go to college, and some people have the gumption to succeed in whatever field their passion is in, even if it's extravagant. He wasn't one of those people. He was taking criminal justice because it was an easy major, and in no way could I see him in Law Enforcement. Someone gave him bad advice. He would live a much happier life elsewhere.

What country OP? College professors matter a lot these days.

>teacher praises some essay I wrote
>reads it aloud in class
>read it again years later
>it makes no sense whatsoever

I always thought teachers weren't human, but I didn't realize how right I was

both are untrustworthy as shit
keep writing though

I was a top student in my university and now I cant get a job (no I do not have a useless degree)

women are not property. also true true communism is not in human nature, there is always some form of class

>Hand in essay
>Get slammed because it's "overly baroque" in style
>"Stop writing long sentences and using Germanicism and Anglicisms"
>Hand it in to another teacher
>"Hey, that's pretty good. You definitely should go to a humanities faculty"
Criticism is a sham.

communism isn't about absolute equality and economic equality isn't the same as absolute social equality.
as a matter of fact communism might result in even more social and sexual inequality because women will no longer go to inferior men who are rich.
people will only look at skill, appearance and personality.

>making sure I have the last word on everything

thank, professor!

my high school teacher used to always give me A's for writing like this but in college my professor always told me that my writing is a cluster of words and that i always stray away from the subject and that it is too much words for too little meaning so i stopped the pretentious wankery

Black Panther

Yeah and filthy greasy ratfolk that manage to slither their way up the party hierarchy.

I hope you slapped his ass, brah. HAHAHAHA, fucking bitches. Love that university shannagian shit LMAO!!!

>Professors regularly give me phenomenal grades
>"You're the best student I've had in ten or fifteen years."
>"I hardly ever recommend it, but in twenty-five years, I think you're the first who should honestly go to graduate school.
Only problem is everything I wrote had complaints that it was too complex, so I still haven't learned how to be concise.

>UC Berkeley is a fucking joke.
Your little anecdote makes it sound based. I wish I had professors like that.

Take other classes at berkeley. Nothing like this

I did something like this when wirting a philosophy essay back in HS. My teacher said my writings reminded him of Kant's. Kek

I crammed a literature final (which was pretty open-ended but had to be orally presented on top of writing)

I dressed up like my professor and presented my thing in a prolonged impression of his teaching style, shouting and verbal tics and gestures and the rest. He kept me after class to tell me how much he loved it and to keep in touch

>filled with sentences that lack subjects and verbs
It is English 102, after all. Subjects, verbs and most predicates can only be unlocked by grad students.

>Professor gives my in-class writing essay an A even though he couldn't read it (because my penmanship is awful) because he trusts it's quality based on prior typed essays and the way I talk in class.
Made me feel pretty good, even if it was just English 102.

I think the real lesson you should learn from this is that it's important to adjust your style for your audience. You can tell if a professor is hippy-dippy or more straitlaced, and write in the according style for each.

Being able to read audiences and change styles is a writing skill. If you do poorly in academia because of 'le bluepilled professors' then it just shows you're a numb-skulled moron incapable of mastering higher skills.

I disagree. An academic should rebel against the idea of needing to change his "style" when presenting facts and analyzing them. He should be as impartial as possible and avoid any underhanded methods that might sway the opinion of his reader. However, if we're talking opinion pieces or commercial writing? Yeah, definitely pander to your audience. Style shouldn't have a place in true academic writing, though.
