Paper Feedback so Far...

I just posted several paper grades to BB.

Where might you have lost points?

Several papers were closer 3 pages than 5. If it was closer to three, most of you only wrote a few sentences on a 2nd theory. You can't get full points on a partial paper. 3 pages on one theory and a paragraph on the second, won't get you a full 40 points. It should have been difficult to get everything into the reduced- to- 5- pages- maximum.

You may have lacked citations or support.

If your only reference was the book you read, it wasn't enough. How else would you know about the theory you are discussing? We talked about it several times, at length in class, but a few of you tried to go without any additional support.

In general typos, spelling and grammar errors improved, but some points were lost in these areas.
