Students - What are you writing papers on?

[TallBill]

I'm just about finished reading for a paper due tomorrow, nothing too long. I have 3 papers due in the next 10 days for different history classes.

First one is based on a book about an African village's reaction to the spread of Christianity into their area.

Second one is about why Athens put Socrates to trial and killed him.

Third paper is based on a few documents from the American Revolution.


None should be too hard, but I have trouble being motivated to do better than 'B' work.

 

[shortylickens]

Already did english 111 and 112, will not be taking another english for a while.
My last 4 were:
Exemplification-Why Deadwood is awesome.
Compare/contrast-My godparents house now and then.
Argumentation-Issues of economy and environment had a strong effect on the outcome of 2008 elections.
Argumentation-Internal factors were more important than external as to why Hamlet fucked around so much getting his revenge.

Those are the long papers. Too many short ones to list. :-/

does an MS thesis count? high strength steel

 

[Chriscross3234]

All my papers this semester have been lab reports for the lab section of my biomedical physiology class. I just wrote one last night, a 7 page report on ECG's.

 

[MotF Bane]

[Firsttime]

My semester is mostly devoid of papers. But projects and research have more then replaced them.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Pages of mathematical proofs count?

 

[destrekor]

my favorite paper I had to write thus far for my B.A. courses was for my second writing course, chose the course Criticizing Television as the elective to fulfill that requirement.

Final paper topic (of our choosing, of course with approval): Lost
Paper Title: Lost in Thought - What Drives the Drama

Thesis: Through these characters and their interaction with the island and its mysteries, the creators have instilled critical elements of philosophy, religion and life lessons, in order to construct social interaction that attempts to accurately portray life and the varied beliefs of the viewers.

(at least, what is essentially the thesis, without the rest of the introduction it arguably is a little ambiguous)

I actually ENJOYED a final for a course. Too bad I haven't found any other courses like that one that fulfills requirements.

No papers this quarter, at least not yet. My Mil. Sci. course might have one, not sure.
Russian = no papers.
Sociology 597 is all multiple choice tests. How the professor pulled that off when all the other 597 courses have a lot of writing, hell if I know. Well, we do in class writing exercises in groups from time to time over the reading material. Those are challenging, very limited time. And the multiple choice tests are NOT easy. The True/False section is a bitch. Sociology is all theory, the theories are all retarded in this context too. The first part of the course was basically on how Capitalism is the most vile thing man ever invented. That was fun.

 

[Demo24]

No real papers this semester. Closest thing that would count is compiling a project for statistics.

 

[Matthiasa]

Labs, papers for every single lab. With a lab due every week, or every other week for some class or another it adds up.
Most recent was on some simple "power supply" thing, yeah just because something says its good to a certain voltage or wattage doesn't mean it is.
I now have a $20 hot plate now though, if only it wasn't so small.

[Proprioceptive]

For my Geography and Cemeteries class I'm doing a technical paper on the geospatial relationships between cemeteries and their surrounding towns/cities. I'll also be delving into why each location was built in that specific area.

 

[oiprocs]

Over the summer I wrote papers on euthanasia, affirmative action, and the current status of health care in America.

I wish I could have written about more interesting topics in the book, but the professor was one of those guys that loves to hear his side of the story confirmed, so I played to his heart.

 

[tasmanian]

10-13 page research paper on alcoholism. 5 page paper on childbirth that I already finished. 2 page paper on south korea that I already finished. In like a month i have another 5 page paper on social interaction or some bs.

 

[Leros]

Do stupid reports for senior design count?

 

[Bibble]

I'm currently writing a 10 page literature review (due tomorrow) for my thesis. My topic is citation of international and foreign law by the Supreme Court (i.e. is it a good idea?). I have half a page written so I should probably get off of ATOT and resume writing if I want to have enough time in the morning to do my French homework.
