Try instead to Estimate or explain the significance or importance of your conclusion. Predict what your argument may eventually do. Explain what readers or scholars may do beyond your argument.

All grades are negotiable.
In order to negotiate any grade, you need to meet with me about your paper and explain why you think I was inaccurate or unfair. Be prepared to defend your point. Lazy answers like I couldn t find where I read it in the book will cost you double the points. However, honest answers, such as I know that this paragraph is outside the thesis, but the idea was so cool, I didn t have the heart to delete it may be overlooked. Answers should be handwritten in the margins of your paper.
