Biographic papers are a separate category of written works that span many unrelated subjects and can be assigned in different courses. These are important as a way of familiarizing with the lives of remarkable people, which can be both interesting and inspiring/ motivating and can also teach one important life lessons (e.g. about not giving up to circumstances, being able to recover from failures, persevering, etc.).
