STUDENT-LED · EST. 2024
Think in public. Get graded on it.
Collegium of Minds is a student-run writing collective. Every few weeks we release one essay question. Members write, a panel grades the argument on its merits, and the results build a public leaderboard.
How it works
01
A question is set
Every two weeks the editorial board publishes one essay question, drawn from philosophy, politics, science, or literature.
02
You write and submit
Members write within the word limit and submit before the deadline. One submission per member, per question.
03
Essays are graded
A rotating panel scores each essay on argument, evidence, and clarity. Scores are published with written feedback.
