Professors only assign papers that they think are interesting (hopefully) and dislike reading boring papers. However, the fact of the matter is that many students end up writing boring papers for college classes. Why?
Why do students write boring papers?
Because the topic is boring.
Because they are not motivated.
Because they have more important things to do.
Because they don’t know enough to care about the topic.
Because they don’t have enough to say to fill eight pages.
Because they will not think outside the box in relation to the topic.
