I posted an example that one student wrote and the teacher gave her an A on the paper. The professor wants it to look something like the example in order to get a good grade. DO NOT copy the example paper, just use it as an example and view the attached comments at the end that the Professor commented. Also, please follow the professors guidelines posted above.
