"as long as you feel it should be"

[MikeNaked]

I'm a teacher...and I'm sorry.

But what your teacher is looking for (I think) is a concise yet complete answer to the prompt. Answer in complete sentences. If you can answer in a paragraph, do it. If you think it requires more exposition, 2 pages double-spaced max. No fluff, no BS. Nobody wants to read a long-winded, meandering treatise...especially if they've assigned 8 questions for homework.
