When I was an undergrad, I remember thinking that papers were very helpful. They force you to sit down and think through a topic in more depth than you would if you only took an exam or something like that. So now that I am teaching, I think that papers are important for a number of reasons. I now wish I had different opinions about assigning papers to students. I really, really don't like reading massive stacks of papers.
Below is me happily holding all of the papers I graded this past semester. Except for the small stack I found on a different desk (totally thought I lost like 40 or 50 final papers... that would have been unfortunate). This is also minus the graded papers that students actually came to pick up. I felt I needed to document this.
