The How-To paper.

When I first read this paper again, I noticed that it wasn't as good as it could possibly be. Our paper was in need of more examples and more situations. For example, we never showed in our paper what to do when the teacher responds to a question in a negative way. We just assumed it would work. We could add an entire new paragraph to just what the teacher says let alone what to do about it. Another thing that we missed was a conclusion. We just forgot about it and it leaves the reader hanging when they finish reading the paper.
