      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.

      Sue me.

        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.
