I just wrote a term paper that makes my rants here seem coherent by comparison. I bet I get an A on it.
I hate minimum word/page counts. I want to say what I have to say in the amount of space I think it deserves to have dedicated to it.
I could write a goddamn book about something if it interests me. If it doesn't all the assignment is doing is prolonging my suffering.
Minimum reference counts are even worse.
I kind of hope my prof notices that all the other papers they assigned before now read better than this one and are more coherent/generally better, because it means that my essay is actually getting read. Even more than that I hope they realize the reason why my term papers always suck by comparison.
If you want an example of how bad it gets, I just brought up [
en.wikipedia.org]
Operation Northwoods in an essay about hate speech as an example of how perceived facts and actual facts can differ - merely because I needed to cite more sources.
