I have finished a paper more than 48 hours before it is due.
Assignment was 10-15 pages. I've got 9, and can't say anymore without feeling like I'm repeating myself to preposterous degrees. (The degrees to which I currently feel like I'm repeating myself are acceptable by this program's standards. Put another way: I'm learning that they don't need my prose to be as lean as I want it to be. Which is totally fair; they're not reading as carefully as they'd read if mine were the only paper they were reading, so it's okay if the points are made in a kind of scattershot pattern rather than with a laser beam.) I'm calling that good, but could use some reassurance.
Clarified assignment, when someone else in the class asked, was: "Do some work. Make it relevant to this class. Hand it in on time." I feel okay about the first of these, brilliant about the third, and sort of hopeful about the second. :-}
... Would someone like to take a look at the paper and tell me how it could be better (which can, at this point, also include being longer)?
