I mean, you could probably put a short version of your title like “How Polluted Are Our Waterways”, but you should have a tighter title that’s not a question like “Our Polluted Waterways and the Threat They Pose”.
Threats posed by Waterway Pollution?
Bad water big problem?
“Dirty water bad. Clean water good?”
Use emojis for extra brevity.
🏭🌊👎. 🧼🌊👍?
That’s a good one, but I believe OP wants it to be personalized to their area
Yeah you’re marked on how focused the essay is. Also since they’ve already submitted the essay this is just to help it be found so it has to have the same title
Is there any good reason to limit a text field like that these days? Although, UCAS probably still rocking a System/360…
In 2015, I had a part time job managing some parts of my University’s IT. We still had 2 Sparc64 build servers that were like 15 years old and had a dual socket MB with 2 physical CPUs and 2 GB of RAM. Top of the line when it came out. It took like 10 seconds for
lsto run. Most infra had moved to x86_64 CentOS machines (from Sun Microsystems still, so like 10 years old), but we were still routinely building updated dovecot packages for the Sparc64 machines managing internal email.
I agree. It’s supposed to be the title, not an article. 🙂 Posing it as a question does help to pique interest, though. Could do… “Are polluted waterways a major threat?” Boom. Done.
I never expected UCAS to turn up on here. I thought Lemmy was for middle aged Linux users?
There are plenty of queer 17-year olds like me here, too!
UCAS? Epq?
UCAS is the organisation that deals with applications to higher education (e.g. university) in the United Kingdom.
EPQ stands for “Extended Project Qualification”, and is an A-Level enhancement subject. In this subject, you pick a topic in September and spend the next few months writing an essay on it.
A-level? Enhancement subject? Is that like something you can hand in for extra credit?
A-Levels are a British standardised exam, at the same level as the American SATs. However, they are much harder.
An enhancement subject is (AFAIK) a way of getting more UCAS points, which increases your chances of being accepted at some universities.
He’s trying to stay within the maximum amount of 50 characters for the title.
I’m pretty sure for the subject you just put “mathematics” or “chemistry” that’s what I did and I hope I didn’t mess it up
If I messed up, my representative should return the form in due course.
Thames Water casually pulling strings at UCAS. (Or at least, truncating them)
And MS won’t let me create an accout (for Minecraft) with email alias. Imagine, everyone can now handle aliases, except the billion dollar company.
