A critical evaluation ranking the weakest academic papers presented during an open forum session. This assessment examines presentations from dozens of students including Gutierrez, Tan, Caloing, Robles, and many others who participated in what appears to be a class or departmental research showcase. The rankings identify which papers fell short in areas like research methodology, argumentation, presentation quality, or overall academic rigor. While every student put effort into their work, this tier list highlights those submissions that struggled with common pitfalls such as weak thesis statements, insufficient evidence, poor organization, or unclear conclusions. It serves as a learning tool to understand what separates strong academic work from papers that miss the mark.
