John Locke Essay 2020 Shortlist

Scroll to see replies

me neither! I did the art question for philosophy and I told myself I wouldn't care on the day but here I am!

Honestly! I wrote it going “oh well, at least it’s some practice writing academic essays!” And now I’m sat refreshing TSR to see if other people have been shortlisted so I can leave my email alone 🙄

I did the Theology question on conscience, but only because the Phil Qs were absolutely terrible.

What were your overall thoughts on the questions? Good or bad?

I can't comment on the other subjects. Theology 1 & 2 were good, Phil 1 would be alright, were the concepts of intuition/science not totally nebulous. Aesthetics isn't my thing, hence why I disliked Phil 3, and Phil 2 would require considerably more than 2,000 words to do any justice (ha) to.

They were prepared due to a flood of entries last year.

Hopefully, a large number of entries means a larger shortlist. Otherwise, my slim chance of being shortlisted will be even slimmer.

I suspect a lot of schools set this competition as quarantine work- which leads me to believe a high volume of entries doesn’t necessary mean entries of good quality.
