Out of interest . . . (1 Viewer)

[Sari]

Just out of interest, does anyone know how many people on average last year did critical responses? Cos I went into that thinking it'd be something not many would choose, but then I got told heaps of people do it. Does anyone know roughly?
God bless

oi, i'm gonna answer this too!

No idea, though I'm guessing it'll be a whole lot more this year. 'Pparently more people are doing EEX2 this year than last year, because good marks weren't too hard to get and it scales. Though as we've all been told before, "scaling doesn't matter".

I think as long as you do something pretty fresh and something you're interested in it shouldn't really matter how many other critical responses there are.

The coolest one I read was something about Fight Club. Imagine studying that

Even though 16% did Critical responses, the range of styles are so diverse... Im doing a feature article

oh really? i always thought critical response meant essay . . . or something that was essayish anyway.

that would have been awesome, but hard to get the word limit?
