Some students find it helpful to look at project papers from prior semesters.  You are welcome to look at the attached papers (all of which received high grades), but you should also be aware of a couple caveats.

• First, and most important, content is far more important than using a particular style. There are many perfectly acceptable ways of conveying the information to a reader, and you are best off finding a way that works well for you.  Blindly following the approach used in one of the sample papers may result in disappointing results (particularly if the necessary content is lacking).  Look at a couple examples for ideas, but then adapt them to meet your own style and the specifics of your project.
• Standards for grading the papers may change slightly, as new material is introduced in the class.  Realize that a paper that received a high grade in semesters past may no longer meet such a high standard in the current semester.  Therefore you should rely primarily on material presented in class during the current semester, again using the sample papers only for ideas to consider.
