Papers to Debate

[bamthedoc]

Guess what, I just found out where I put a lot of the papers I wrote while attending college for my first Associate Degree. I have decided to write them up into a text document, knowing it will take a few days to write up, but I want you to decide what my first work will be and what order I will present them.

First, the categories:

History (~20 essays ranging from 4 - 6 pages in Word and a few longer reports)
Literature (~100 essays ranging from 1 - 2 pages in Word and a few 15 - 20 page reports)
Psychology (admittedly, only 1 long report on the "shock box")

After I see where the general concensus is on writing a typing up one of my papers, I'll give a few of of the titles to papers in that category. I'll include the grade I'd expect from my harshest teacher, grade recieved, biggest reason. I'll give specifics on "why" when I post the actual paper.

History, then You're pschology and the few high school papers and finish off with the long literature. I dont think you should put them in randomly e.g one history essay then on lit ect.

[bamthedoc]

¬_¬ You do, and I will hurt you. I doubt you could even quote me unless your teacher is cool with forum quotes. I know none of mine ever did. I'll put up a list before I go to bed, tonight. I want to give about 12 hours for people to decide on their favorite title and grade are.

hahaha alright i was kidding but hm.... >:] na... i have a fear of plaugerism =\ i no wana get kicked out or something for copying an essay. but could they find out??

 

[bamthedoc]

Teachers are amazingly astute...at least the one's I've had. Your teacher may well know your writing style.

How in hell am I supposed to write 10+ pages when I get to college? Oh, and History, because History is a good class.

Literature (~100 essays ranging from 1 - 2 pages in Word and a few 15 - 20 page reports)

Better be atleast a 20 size font if I am going to read all those.

History would be good to debate, but I am going to have to do some other outside reading to be coherant.

 

[bamthedoc]

I'll see how this turns out tomorrow when I get on. Here are my history papers. After I find out what everyone seems to want, I'll post my literature papers since I'm doing my one psychology paper, next. I'll give "Normal" and "Given" Grade for they history paper because I wrote many of them while still in High School, and our professor was nice enough to give us "evaluation" time.

Those are all the papers I could find that I wrote. I know I have more, especially as I remember at least 3 As. The professor I had was harsh, and he really knew not only his stuff but how to force you to think.

What is a 'normal grade'?

 

[bamthedoc]

The grade I would have been given had the teacher started at his harshest. He gave us time to learn, thankfully.

 

[shutupandgoaway]

Post the one about 'The First Freedom'. It sounds interesting, and something that could arouse an interesting discussion. Also, the industry and court case one sounds interesting.

 

[Kuzmich]

Arent american colleges supposed to be a little harder then that. I am in highschool in Russia, and i have to occasionaly write a 15-18 page essay.

 

[bamthedoc]

Those are my short papers. Those are "weekly" writings. The 1 - 2 pages are daily writings. The ones that are "projects" can be anywhere between 15 and 30 + pages long. 5 - 6 pages weekly is actually quite hard. That and I was in a Community College. I only have 1 associate, at this point. I think I'll start with "The First Freedom" paper, then.

 

[Kuzmich]

K, that explains a lot. I got what? 2 years until applying to MGU, the work will be hard, hope it pays off.

 

[bamthedoc]

This is the first paper I will present. After this, I'll make a new thread for each paper based on where I think things are going. This is a paper written on The First Freedom by Nat Hentoff.

Details:

Still a lot of red, but, honestly, much better. You are more focused, carrying argument without wandering off.

Tha would be a lot easier to read in word or something else that you can just scroll downwards. Also did you have a bibliography ie what were your sources.

 

[bamthedoc]

I had one source; therefore, I had no need of a bibliography. I was commenting on Nat Hentoff's The First Freedom which was on the Alien and Sedition Acts. I, also, can't upload a word document to BF.
