so my online professor told us to write a 10 page paper

I have 8 really good pages. I feel like my paper is very thorough and covers everything he asked

Do I send it in as is?

Do I send the prof an email asking him if it is ok?

or do I B.S. and add 2 more pages?

I really don't want to fill the paper with b.s. and fillers

ugh, I don't know what to do...I've been out of school for so long

awesome that he extended it for 1 more week. If I were u, I'd take a day or 2, leave it alone, and then re-read it, I'll bet u'll have new ideas. Usually when u have to write long papers, ur mind just shuts down and can't think anymore

It may be accepted, but to me, that would scream 'I needed to take up space'

Like a previous person said change the font. And just BS your way to 12 pages.

I just finished grad school and I always went by the rule of quality over quantity. If I finished a paper and answered ALL the questions asked in a page or two less that is how I sent it. I was never told it was unacceptable.

I have. Iused this font several time this semester and my professor is the program's director so of it wasn't acceptable I'm sure he would have told me about by now. I have gotten very good grades from him. Google acceptble fonts just to be sure!

it was due tomorrow but he extended the deadline to the 12th, id like to have it done sooner rather than later so i can breath

i added some bs here and there, still only gave me a few more lines

gave me a full 8 rather than a skimpy 8

how will i get 2 more pages! i even showed a friend of mine who is a PA and she was like ummm i dont know what else to add either!

Since you have the extension can you email it to him/her to review and blatantly ask if there is anything they want you to expand on..?
