10. EVOLUTION OF A PAPER
With coauthor Erin Keller’s (Gamsey’s) permission, I’ve posted several drafts of her papers, starting with the original class paper for Public Policy and ending with the co-authored published version. This should allow students to see how a paper “evolves” from a class assignment to thesis to publication.
