Yup. Guilty as charged. If I need two pages and I’ve got like 1 3/4 of a page, I’ll copy/ paste my entire report into chatgpt and ask it to make it a little longer. Then go through the changes, modify the bits I like and cut out the parts I don’t.
tbh the page/word requirements are just as dumb as using chatgpt imo. as a general guideline for how much you need to go into details, sure, but literally counting pages and scoring based on that is not really the point of those assignments, I feel
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.
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.
lol maybe before chatgpt was a thing

Sue me.

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

I can get behind the maximum requirement tbh, there is only so much one teacher can read through
