    Exactly. Last 2 years of highschool all of my major writing classes understood this and didn’t have minimums, just write as much as you think it’s necessary to cover your topic.

    Most of my college courses have a minimum and maximum. Like they want to read exactly 2-3 pages per student. Annoying.

      One of my English teachers once said something like “The more you write the more I have to read. So keep it short.”

        I had a professor who wanted at least five pages and wouldn’t read any more than eight. If you turn in more than eight, he reads the first eight and that’s it.
