Default Essay submission to coursework.info via TSR
 
Helloooo

While I really appreciate the chance to earn riches by submitting essays to coursework.info via TSR, I'm having a few problems with the submissions process. The main one is the notion of categories, which don't seem substantial enough to cover some university courses - while I can categorise my English degree level essays quite well, the Classics category and the Linguistics category are really lacking - particularly the latter, which seems geared towards GCSE and A Level English Language courses. 'Miscellaneous' doesn't really cover these situations and I'd prefer not to have to use it, but at the moment I seem to be making an awful lot of substandard categorisations. It's also really annoying to not be able to select more than one category, as many of my essays are quite interdisciplinary.

Another major problem is that you can't leave the 'mark received' box as 'not known', even though this option is given - this is a particular problem when submitting essays that have been used for Oxbridge tutorials, which are traditionally not marked in the conventional way.

Any ideas as to if these problems will be resolved at some point?

Thanks for the problem about not being able to leave a 'not known' grade. I'll get that passed on.

Thanks also for your comments about the categorisation system. I know some effort was put in to getting is sorted to the current state a little while back, ensuring that all the essays were correctly categorised. So I would guess the existing categories were set up to uise what essays there were. I also think we do not have that many specific categories in certain areas as there will not once have been enough essays in that area to support more specific categories and having the essays very fragmented wouldn't be good for usability.

I'm sure as the site grows that categorisation can be looked in to and improved. Though there are not plans at the moment.

As for two categories for one essays. This is a great idea. I don't think it's anything planned any time soon, but I'll be sure to bring it up as it could prove very useful

I tried to use it yet it rejected all of my degree level essays for no apparent reason.
