Near the end of the semester the teacher said we can do double spaced, and there was an audible sigh of relief and a few fist pumps. My paper was around 25 pages at that point. I have no idea how the other people in class were struggling to get to 10. --- I am a juggler/prop manipulator/fire performer, I'm awesome, here's my channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/markconigliaro <cite>markconigliaro posted [p:886220237] in Page limit...

Partly because all of school up to the end of undergrad really trains you into really shitty writing techniques because of page minimums, but also because being concise is just much harder than being verbose. The hardest thing I ever wrote was the two page NSF GRFP grant. So hard to write anything meaningful in two pages. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] <cite>COVxy posted [p:886238050] in Page limit...
