((Just out of curosity, did you look stuff up, before you posted, or are you just brainy?))
Wellllllll... I usually can't find a damn thing when I try to look it up, so the information I do know is chance information either through school or some sort of work related incident. As far as the 80% rule, I was in school to become an art major before the economy went to hell, and as it went to hell I realised the economically I would not be able to get a job as an art professional very easily. --there are craploads of talented artists who don't have jobs in their fields any way, so I decided I would just finish my Associative Arts degree in the Community College and put the rest of the education on hold for a while.
In real life I am not usually listened too very much, even though I usually do have the best solution to a problem, mostly because I have a deep and quiet voice which is drowned out by the less vocally challenged. I would not call my self brainy though, as a brainy person would probably be persuing a proper career by now and be able to remember all fo the relative knowlege to that field. However, when I write papers to turn in or speeches or research projects, and some times internet posts I come accross on a much more understandable wave length... usually... for some odd reason.
Enough a bout me... I suppose that solves the question though eh? ;-p
What are you thinking of writing your senior paper on? What are the writing restrictions involved? Political, scientific or natural? I will not write it for you, but I might be able to lend some links or suggestions... if I can find them ;-D haha. In fact, our whole community may be able to draft read your first copy for you if you post it, and remark what may be unclear or needing elaboration.
Peace.
