The following examples demonstrate some of the qualities of a well-written
essay. The sample papers include comments from an instructor, detailing the strengths
and weaknesses of each paragraph. The English M01A paper features welldeveloped paragraphs, logical argumentation, and reliable sources. The English M02
paper is shorter and adopts a more informal style.
Although not perfect models of writing, the sample essays may help students
appreciate the different expectations of English M02 and English M01A.
