Example Papers
It can be helpful to practice commenting on papers. There are three examples linked below (and in the menu to the left). The instructions for each are different, and your comments should serve different purposes. Try to adhere to the instructions, keeping in mind the purpose of your comments.
Your comments will not be right or wrong. If you would like to share your comments with others, please e-mail us a copy (you will find a link at the bottom of each essay). We can add them to our website with or without your name attached--please indicate your preference.
