Date: November 30th, 2025 4:58 PM Author: ............,.,.,.,.......,,.,., In hindsight it must be crazy being a public school HS teacher making 55k and having to read several hundred pages of retarded ramblings about the causes of the Civil War or Great Gatsby. Professors even more so have better things to do than read 20+ page papers for students in intro/intermediate courses. Why do they subject themselves to this?

And making students be economical with words is usually tougher for them than letting them ramble on for pages. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5804479&forum_id=2#49472694) |

The only hard limit was 500 words and almost everyone got a C because it was just 500-word vomit. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5804479&forum_id=2#49472701) |
