Default \"as long as you feel it should be\"

stupid assignments with vagueness and "as long as you feel it should be" or whatever they say are going to be the death of me. i'm currently working on some work for my us history class and all my answers seem either too long or too short. if there are any teachers here please feel free to express your sorriness for the amount of frustruation you cause.

and school hasn't even began this year. i think i'm going to be in for a long year..

my wife is a teacher, and when you put a word limit on things, you often get garbage that comes out to exactly that amount of words.

be grateful that they've given you this guideline...and now answer to the best of your ability.

it means three pages double spaced, and if your teacher is old, you can inflate the margins a little. Also, if I recall correctly, Arial is slightly larger than Times New Roman.

This is all true. Except that I have 8 questions to answer and they don't say "short answer" or "essay" or "one word, no more"

I like these simply because I don't need to force a bunch of words out that do nothing to improve my answer.

Use the shortest answer you can that gets the correct information in.

Nice save with the second post, btw. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Just answer the question. Part of higher learning is being able to determine how much of an answer is appropiate.
