Note to students: Research is your responsibility. I cannot send you research, nor can I answer broad general questions. If you have a specific comment, question, or complaint, about something specific on this site, then by all means I want to know about it, although I haven't read many of these works in years and am not an expert. Talk to your teacher for research advice. Quoting or linking to this page is fine; just use a proper citation. If you do submit one of these papers, you will get an "F" like I did. But unlike me, you'll deserve it.
