Sample Documents

These links present sample documents intended to provide general guidance for GE 3513 students in writing their course assignments. Under no circumstances should students copy or adapt these samples closely as a way of completing GE 3513 papers, presentations, exams, or homework. Such copying and adapting constitutes plagiarism, which carries a penalty of a failing grade for the course and a record of the infraction filed with the Dean of Students/Honor Code Council.
