I agree with SamIam, the paper would seem a daunting task to me(being the horrible procrastinator that I am.)
The concept is a grand idea though, it challenges the students ideas of truth (which, I do believe is the whole purpose) and I commend you for having such high goals for your students.

I too, am interested to hear the results you recieved. Were any of the conclusions startling in any way?

P.S. Just for the record: I don’t see how it is possible for there to be any universal truth outside of God.

Good grief Norb, it sounds like a graduate assignment. It’s a good one to give them though. I doubt any of the students in I’m teaching (first year university) have even thought about truth. I also think it’s a good question for some of us to consider. I’d like to pose the question do people really think there is a truth? It’s something that we discuss in my graduate theory classes. I don’t know if I could really say there is. I believe that God is truth, but I find that sin has really distorted our vision of God, so that our view is only a representation of God’s “real” truth. Does that make sense? Anyway, I’m curious to see what people have to say about this. (I also hope this is going where I want it to because this is my absolute first posting online, and I have no idea if I clicked the right icon).
