<p>Hi Shifty,</p>
<p>I’m no expert, so take this with a grain of salt:</p>
<p>From my reading of the question, the point of this essay is mostly to show the adcom that you really do understand what the block plan is about. If you read their samples, they are basically promos for classes that make them sound like a lot of fun and show some understanding of the BP. My son did a very serious, week-by-week outline for his course with some detail about in-class learning and more detail about the fieldwork. I don’t know what got him in, but I’m sure they knew he well understood the BP.</p>
<p>Are you planning time travel fieldwork, or are you actually just planning a discussion? There is so much cool science fiction on the topic and even some science saying that it is might be possible in an extremely limited kind of way. Are you doing this seriously, or are you using it to show your sense of humor? I have no idea if this is a good topic for you to use…but I would sure like to take the class!</p>
<p>Hope you get in!</p>
