PAPERS

OK--this part of the site allows you or me to read many of the papers I've written for various classes at BYU . It also serves as a storage place for these papers. It does not serve as a place to download and turn in whatever I've written. On one count, that's plagiarism--which is illegal. On another count, that's cheating--which is dishonest. Besides, I don't make any promises about the quality of these documents. Some are better than others. Print them out, mock my writing style, whatever--I don't care. Just be honest.
