<p>Sometimes I wonder, what is the purpose of the college paper??

  1. Show research ability
  2. Show writing ability
  3. Learn about a new topic
  4. Show mastery of a topic
  5. Make work project
  6. Something else??</p>

<p>What’s the answer(s)?</p>

<p>In many classes that just require tests it can be pretty easy to already know much iof the material if you read a lot or went to an advanced high school. Today you can test out of many classes that might have required papers and never have to do any to get the credits. Is that fair?</p>
