What degree program was this for? And how the hell are you supposed to write 50 pages about a trip?

BS Political Science.

We had 40 lectures over the last month, so it was one page per lecture, plus a ten-page final.

That's OK, just double-space or increase the font size of all that jibba-jazz.

I already turned it in and got my As. No need for any of that stuff. Plus its against formatting rules anyway.

What is this a reply to? The OP?

Yes

I could write 50 pages right now about my last week. People who can't put together paragraphs longer than 4 sentences shouldn't have graduated high school.

I'm saying your school has low standards

Oh okay.

There was just no way my professor was actually going to grade them. 50 pages for each of the 19 students over one night, after wed all done some moderate to heavy drinking? He probably just made sure there was SOMETHING, gave some quick notes, then handed out grades based on participation.

Usually, that's why grades come out like a week or more after the end date for that semester.

not on study abroad programs!

It's a concept you can carry forward to future assignments. Just because one teacher let is slide doesn't mean they all will. Then again, unless you got really specific feedback, I doubt any teacher would actually sit there and read 50 pages per student. Most likely they will just skim through and slap a grade on it.

In my experience, even on the Bachelor level, many teachers hold themselves, and their students, to a much lower standard than used to be the norm. Not saying you did a shoddy job, just speaking from personal experience.

Ive had professors take 50% off for incorrect formatting. They even measure the size of periods. Im not about that, man. Ive got a degree to get (in four months!!!!).

double-spaced times new roman size 12 is the standard, that's not some kind of trick
