Everyone Write 1500 Words!

Last year during the Galileo game, some students were confused about how to write the papers if they are sharing a role. Thus, this semester, I repeated the policy several times in class to avoid confusion. However, some people still are not turning in their own papers and are instead turning in "group" papers. Let me be clear. Even if you are sharing a role, such as Conservative Cardinal 1, every single student writes his or her own 1500 words for this game. Usually this will be in the form of a 1000-word main paper and a 500-word secondary paper. Some roles require one 1500-page paper or six 250-page papers. If you are sharing a role, you split up the topic, but everyone turns in their own 1500 during this game. If two people turn in a single paper, they will receive half-credit for it.
