When Is It Due?

Can the research papers be due on the last day? I'm stressed about the debate and I am over researching structure. If I knew we were going to implement debate in an English class...I would have armed myself with the fundamentals before having to do the assignment. A bit confusing! Can we divide our focus & efforts into two weeks instead of one? I think this will be very useful.

For those who are learning on doing their research paper...kudos! I want to learn to...but I don't know if I can over this speech anxiety I'm building up right now. It is really tough for those of us who actually have this problem. If one can psychologically prepare for this endeavor...we should at least meditate on it...instead of having the burden of writing a 7page research paper + bibliography looming over our heads. I don't know about anybody else...but the rewards I'd like to reap from this experience is a well balanced mind.

I would definitely be much more comfortable this way...does anybody else agree?

Not for nothing...I don't want to elude anybody into thinking that I have not been doing my homework, because I have. With the exception of Thursday and Friday, where I have been duly obtained to participate in the obligatory job interview, time is not on my side between the impediments of scholastic fantasy vs. life’s reality.

Its okay to be stressed out over this debate, just remember its only an audience of 4.

Unfortunately, I do absolutely need the papers a week before the end of the semester to grade them and get them back to you-all. I would even highly recommend that everyone turn them in printed in class, since there's so little time left in the semester to correct an error like a misfiring email or unreadable file format.
