You may notice that some of these papers don’t seem to follow the instructions I’ve given you for your papers perfectly. Chances are the assignment has evolved since these students wrote their papers. While you may easily find weaknesses in these papers, I have chosen to include them because they also have strengths from which you can learn. If you don’t like a paper, your goal should be to do an even better job than these students have done.
