But, keep it. I love when the the Professor hands back papers (or leaves 'em in a stack by the door) and the kids who wouldn't shut up in class because they thought they knew everything realize that everyone has seen their work murdered.

POLL: Are you a paper writer or a test-taker?
I hate tests. I've always been a paper writer. I can take tests and have always done quite well, but I think they're almost always stupid. Papers allow you to demonstrate what you know about a topic in your own way (shaped by how you can best spit back the professor's words when need be).

I have no strong preference, but I would probably lean toward paper-writing, which I suppose makes me a monkey fucking scribe. You are more able to consider the issues before writing and shape the content, even if you have to pull an all-nighter to write it. As long as I've done the background work, I find that I'd almost rather have that kind of time pressure. However, I'd probably feel a lot differently about this had computer word processors not been invented.
