The Longest Paper you\'ve written in the shortest amount of time
What's the most you've written in your college career in a one-day or two-day period? Ten pages? Twenty pages? Five essays?
stories appreciated

Re: The Longest Paper you\'ve written in the shortest amount of time
although i did research, number crunching, planning, etc, in advance, I did not start writing the paper until 3-4 days before the due date. the report ended up being about 40 pages long. (facilities design class)

15 pages. Around 3 hours. Got an A. [/ QUOTE ] I have 15 pages to write, although I also have to do a little reading while/before I'm writing, and split between two essays (10 pager and 5er). I"m starting now, o/u on when I'll finish both of them? Be happy to take like a $10 prop bet to motivate myself, anyone interested?

[/ QUOTE ] k, how about by 5 pm tomorrow for both of them? keep in mind -neither is easily bs-able. require knowledge of subject/books, and I still have to read/review 100+ pages of reading for parts of the paper -i don't plan on rushing like a maniac bc I want them to be good, but I do want to finish asap so I can do other stuff stars $ is cool

15 pages. Around 3 hours. Got an A. [/ QUOTE ] Obviously a creative writing class. That paper would be around 4000 words in 180 minutes ~ 20 words per minute. There is NO way you did an academic paper (source citation, etc) in that amount of time. None. [ QUOTE ] 35 short papers (mostly reading response type things, not analytical at all) It was a whole semesters worth of work, we were supposed to do a reading and write a paper after each class. I did all of the readings and wrote 110 pages in 18 straight hours of work (11 red bulls drank.) I handed in the portfolio 30 minutes late but it was accepted for full credit. It was a pass fail class. I passed. Bonus: 3 hours after I wrote these papers I had an exam for a class that I had not attended nor had I done any of the readings for (law class.) I studied for 15 minutes on no sleep and got the class avg. [/ QUOTE ] 110 pages? That is around 330,000 words. We'll say they were small pages or something, so 200,000 words. 200,000 / 18 (hours you spent) / 60 (minutes in an hours) = 185 words per minute = you're full of [censored]. For a freshmen history writing intensive class I had an 7-page paper due at 11AM on a Monday. I decided to visit a friend at a different school instead of writing it. I got home Sunday at 4PM, slept until 1AM and wrote for about 9 hours straight, getting done at 8AM. My works cited was 1.5 pages and my paper ended up being 9 pages long. I definitely got an A.
