do you need verifiers for the Mac questions?

[isaiah4110]

Do we need to include verifiers for Mac answers? A lot of my answers weren't "facts" that could be verified - they were my thoughts and personal opinions...

 

..so is the U of T essay the only other part (aside from the sketch) that needs to include verifiers?

 

Thanks!!

let me rephrase that...

 

Yes you need verifiers for the Mcmaster questions, but what would you do (for example, question #1 that asks why you want to pursue a career in medicine when there are other ways of helping people) for answers that really can't be verified because they are your own thoughts? Would they disregard what I wrote because it doesn't have any verifiers? Thx!!

isaiah, only your activities require a verifier, not your thoughts

[isaiah4110]

Ahh.

thanks future_doc!

 

Do you think its unwise to write an answer purely based on thoughts though, or should i include at least 1 example = 1 verifier?

 

I find the answers to be quite personal, so even if I had a verifier, he or she would only know the activity, not the underlying context.....

you just need them to verify the activity you did

 

whether you want to incorporate this activity into your question is entirely up to you. if you feel your answers are strong without any experience basing it, then i see no problem

Its not unwise. We each answer in our own way and try our best. You need to be comfortable with the answer and also ask yourself if this looks like a good answer from an objective point of view.
