Hey, if you have some past courseworks hidden in the depths of your room and locker, do not be hasty in a decision to throw them away. Past coursework is sometimes as useful, as a new one. There are at least five serious reasons to save past courseworks for grandsons:

  1. Even a bad-graded past coursework is a valuable thing. Next time you sit to write a new paper, you can always peep into your past coursework to see what went wrong and correct or predict possible mistakes. Not everything that was bad can be bad in the long run. The more past courseworks you have in your archives, the bigger the possibility you will come across something similar in future. And you will surely be ready for it.
    • Past courseworks can be connected to your new papers. In this case, a previous topic can simply be developed into something better or more sophisticated. It is much easier to build a strong paper on solid basis. Past courseworks, especially if you did a good job on them, are just the solid basis you are looking for.
    • Sometimes a student is required to keep a folder with past courseworks. It is like a resume, a report on what you have been doing during a certain period of time. And the better the grades on past courseworks are, the higher the chances for them to become useful.
    • Leave past courseworks for your grandchildren or learn the Japanese art of origami. In your case, it will be called esthetic recycling. At one point, you use paper again, at another you make something sweet out of it.
    • After all, you can sell your past courseworks to those funny freshmen. This will help you fulfill the ultimate American dream – make money practically out of air. The more air (past courseworks) you have, the more money you get.
