Below are links to copies of student projects submitted for the research / analytic paper assignment. These papers are provided to serve as models for future students and for present students to share their research with each other. Most of the papers are posted "as they came in." Therefore, some editing and format problems may remain.

These projects are all traditional "research-analysis essays." At the time of this class, the "journal" was not yet an option.
