Lets say I have a paper to hand in and although it is very long, it doesnt necessarily meet the requirements. Its only a first draft, so although it is important its not the final copy. If I am turning the paper in to you, and I want to get you a gift go along with my 23 page paper (Gift = 2 pages), what would you suggest?

change the font, margins, and spacing all very slightly. Most profs are on to that, but if you do them all ever so slightly, they won't notice. If you've already done this, you need to write more because your paper sucks.

Not my paper, margins wont work here, because of how closely its looked at. My guess is since hes been working on his paper for 27 straight hours that hes not gonna write 2 pages super easy

Use a heavy duty GOLD paperclip.

I would find a few more sources, shovel a little more "stuff" into the paper...and make it fit the criteria.
Of course, I am struggling with a 600 word paper for a class I am taking on:
Identify 2-3 key factors impacting the continued emergence of female aggression. Offer a brief plan of action to address this in school. Word limit is 550-600 words.

I'm not going to make that joke. Really, I'm not.

Actually, my angle might be the Feminization of the American Male...caused by NOW and the other femi-nazis. It will certainly be UNIQUE among what the professor expects to read. It's my last class before comps...so I am not too worried.

Fumble, I know a few female faculty who might fit that description, if you need any interviews.
