Final grades are in.
Yes, straight A’s, thank you very much.
A couple of folks have requested this, so here you go: my final paper on the 1979 Iranian Revolution, in PDF format. Note that this is the submitted version; I would feel as if I am betraying a confidence if I uploaded the version with the professor’s annotations on it.
For those of you who may be considering ripping this off and submitting it as your own work: hey, guess what? St. Ed’s subscribes to the Turnitin system! My paper’s in the database! You’re going to get kicked out of school!
Edited to add: Just so everyone is clear, I welcome comments on the paper, even if they are of the “that’s what passes for ‘A’ quality work at a major university today?” ilk.
Edited to add 2: And we have our first critic, Dr. Rael S. Gabriel, who uses the phrase “a long-running, slow-motion train wreck”. Thanks, Dr. Gabriel; your prize is in the mail.
Edited to add 3: Dr. Gabriel has clarified his remarks to state that he was referring to The Situation, and not my paper specifically.
Edited to add 4: Dr. Gabriel has further clarified his remarks to state that he was referring to the situation in Iran prior to the 1979 revolution, and not the “Jersey Shore” idiot.

, personally, but that’s just me. Other than that, I think the list is pretty spot on.)
