What a sample is on this board
A complete deliverable in its real submission form. Not an outline, not a summary, not the first two paragraphs with the rest behind a payment. If the module wants an eight page appraisal with a table, that is what the sample is, formatted and referenced as though it were going in.
The point is that reading a finished thing teaches what no amount of advice does: what a strong opening actually sounds like, how a rubric row turns into a section, how references are really built, and how much argument a scored criterion expects.
How the board is filed
By course, then by module, because that is how ASU grades. Each course shelf holds a drawer per module, and each drawer either shows a finished example or opens as a free custom request. If your course has revised since a drawer was filled, the custom route is the better one, since it is written against what your shell shows today.
- Browse the full course board and open the shelf you are on.
- Search by code and module from the homepage if you already know what you need.
- Ask for a custom one when the drawer is empty, which is free the first time.
Asking for one that earns its keep
Spend the free request on the piece that actually frightens you, not the one you could finish tonight. Send the rubric with it, name the module, and say what your instructor has already been marking you down for. A sample written against a real scoring table and a known weakness is a different object from one written against a course code alone.
Turnaround is normally 24 to 48 hours, faster in quiet months. There is no card, no deposit and no obligation attached to it, and nothing is charged unless you later order paid work.
Where the line sits
A sample is a model you study and then write from. That is the intended use and it is stated plainly rather than buried: read how it is built, take the structure and the sourcing logic, and produce your own submission from it. What you do after it lands is your decision and your responsibility, and the desk is not in your classroom to see either way.
Ready? Name your course and module on the request form and the free one is queued. If finished work is what you actually want, the assignments page covers single modules and whole course orders cover the session.

Questions students ask first
Where is the line between studying a sample and copying it?
The line is the writing itself. Using the structure, the sourcing approach and the level of argument is study. Submitting the file unchanged is not what it is built for, and the desk says so plainly rather than pretending the question never comes up.
Is a boarded sample the same thing as a custom one?
Same standard, different fit. A boarded example was written for that module in general; a custom one is written to the rubric sitting in your shell this session, which is why it is the more useful of the two.
My module has no drawer filled yet.
That is what the free request exists for. Send the module and the instructions, and the drawer is filled specifically for you within a couple of days.
Does the free one have to be for the module I am in right now?
No. Spend it wherever it helps most, including a module still a few weeks out, since a sample in hand early is worth more than a rescue later.
What is the realistic turnaround on the free one?
Usually 24 to 48 hours, and often quicker in low season. Heavier pieces such as a capstone phase take longer, and you are given the real date when the request is accepted.
