    Trying to finish up the final paper today but am puzzled by the content required. The "thesis" requirement is clear, as is "description" and "historical context". I'm not clear about what both "participation" and "concept" are supposed to be though.

    Anyone have any thoughts?

    Participation is the same as the paper we did on architecture. So however you "participated" in your piece of artwork for that. Concept I am honestly confused as all on. It's the same was what our theater blog was supposed to be. So the "theme" I guess. But I lost points on the blog, and didn't get any comments so I really have no direction for that one. I'm doing my paper using the architecture I went and saw, which was a church/basilica shrine so I'm just going with spirituality as far as the concept I think. At this point I honestly don't care, haha. I am having my baby on Friday, I just want to be done. I still have to finish the major project for Business comm.as well. I have A's in the classes, with extra credit for this one keeping me over 100%. As long as I stay at 100 I'm content, lol.

    When I submitted my final paper, it came back from SafeAssign with 43% matching. I nearly had a cow but when I checked, it was matched against my own previous paper! The really odd thing is that out of the ~2,000 words in my final paper, less than about 300 are from the old paper - nowhere near 43%. Since there's a 25% limit on re-cycling your previous paper, I wonder if I'm going to get dinged. Anyone know how this works?

    Did you guys get feedback on your final paper? I got a grade, but absolutely no comments on what I did wrong.

    No feedback on my final paper - or either of the previous ones for that matter. My guess is that I got dinged for being over the word limit and maybe a point or 2 for not having enough on "concept". Just guessing though.

    My TA actually emailed my paper with grade and comments. He always did that, i got dinged for what Chukster said believe i ended up with 52.

    Yeah I'm sure I slacked on concept as well.
