10 page requirement causes arthritis
I find it interesting that we are required a minimum of 10 pages for our final paper when many well known and documented scholarly sources found on JSTOR are less then 7. What happened to the importance of quality writing over quantity? I think students will be using fillers of useless writing in order to meet the 10 page requirement. Good luck to everyone. Someone should write their 10 pages on a cure for hand arthritis, because we're going to need it after the typing of our final drafts.

I agree, I bet half of this paper is just going to be a bunch of b.s that will make our paper worse if anything because we are just attempting to make it a filler that has to meet the ten page requirement
ReplyDeletehaha i agree..why do we need to stretch our papers to 10 pages when the "academics" do not have to :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, making the paper 10 pages and not losing direction is gonna be hard.
ReplyDeletei find that if you have a minimum you have to meet students get off track and start talking about nothing in common with their paper just to meet the requirement which i think is defeating the purpose of having the requirement in the first place.
