This friggin' synthesis paper for Meeks MADM760 just won't end!!!

I keep writing and writing and writing and writing

From what I understand reading the instructions, we are allowed to copy and paste skill builder content in with no penalty. We're also allowed to remove or shuffle the sections in his template as we see fit, as long as it supposedly makes a cohesive paper.

According to the rubric, 4000 words is "A" level work, which honestly is only 1k more than the skill builder work I've turned in. "A" level work also includes 250 words per section (same as skill builders), mentioning 4+ class topics per section, and tying each section to a personal story or some sort.

I'm not expecting a big change in my grades for this last group project and skill builder. As far as I can tell, as long as I turn a synth paper in that exceeds the rubric's "acceptable" minimums (3000 words, 180 words per section), I'll have an A in the class.

I'm going to go back and double check you on this. I would be in a great position if I could use my skill builders. I have only typed about 500 words so far because Im trying to wrap up my other classes.

Please do and make sure you're seeing what I'm seeing! I'd hate to be wrong on this.

The location where he says the use of Skill Builder content is allowed is on the Synthesis Paper instruction page, the second paragraph under the heading "Synthesis Paper Template," starting with "THEME."

Also, make sure you take a look at the rubrics spreadsheet as well in the Getting Started section.
