What Is a Good Topic to Write an Evaluation Essay?

What Is a Good Topic to Write an Evaluation Essay?A few days ago, one of my colleagues told me that he had found himself in a situation where he had been asked to write an evaluation essay for a senior programmer. He thought that this would be a good opportunity to learn a few things about writing an evaluation essay.Evaluating a programmer's work, whether it's a professional, or amateur programmer, is difficult. There is no short cut to finding out the quality of a programmer's work. It's actually impossible to accurately judge a programmer's code based on its output, because the actual algorithm used to create that output is still a mystery. The compiler was written many years ago and nobody really knows how it actually works.In order to evaluate an algorithm, I would need to know exactly what the algorithm does, in detail, by reading all the source code. Then I would need to compile that code into a binary format. That would let me run it on a computer program simulator that simul ates how it would behave in real life.Then I would need to figure out how the programmer arrived at the programming solution, which depends on the source code. Then I would need to work through the code, tracking down all the errors and adding them to my code completion report. And so on and so forth.If I were to do all that in different places, it would take a long time. Since there are different places where I should enter a reference to check the source code, each has its own keyboard shortcuts. Additionally, since all of the source code is not necessarily publicly available, some sources can cause trouble with the system when they are written incorrectly. In fact, even reading different sources in different places can cause problems.Even if I were to get away with all of that, I would still have a hard time writing evaluative essays, because the source code is so vast and open to interpretation. I'm not going to pretend that it's easy to understand. Some parts of the code are on ly meant to be read once, but some of the more obscure parts can be misunderstood without context.One option for writing an evaluation essay is to just write it from a subjective point of view. I've seen some fantastic papers that do this, as I mentioned above. I find that to be a much better approach than simply relying on a source code evaluator.A useful tip is to write an evaluation essay from a point of view that's closest to the algorithm that you're evaluating. This lets you see exactly what it is that makes the algorithm unique. Of course, this also means that you'll have to put in a fair amount of work to prove that the algorithm itself is unique.
