How long does it take you to write a paper?

[geek4life]

I have a 10-page essay that needs to be done by tomorrow morning. I still have 6 more pages to go.

Grrr!!! Stupid piece of sh*# Humanities 1100 class.

A long time; I procrastinate but still love to be anal about how I'm saying things.

Brainstorming, drafting, revising, etc.

i brainstorm as i go its faster that way, and im the worlds worst proof reader so that only ever takes like 20 min tops

of actual wrighting time a 10 page paper prob takes me 2-3 hours, 4 at most, but with the not working time added in its prob closer to 8

from start to finish, i would say i avg a page an hour if it's a law paper or something analytical

if it's from my undergrad days, i would guess around 30 minutes a page of garbage

FVCK ESSAYS!!!!

10 pages = a bottle of rum and 5 hours of typing.
Then my paper would be elite!

Yup, being able to write well and getting your point across in an intelligent manner is such a waste of time.

To answer the question, I usually figure about an hour/page including the research and citations, etc.

 

[ruffilb]

Anywhere from 30 minutes to a gazilion hours.

 

[bradruth]

I can usually hammer them out in a couple hours, depending on length and my level of interest.

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

Half hour per page usually...

About an hour a page if I need to find sources still

I've got a 6-7 page paper due Wednesday and I'm about halfway through. I completely blew it off tonight and watched movies and old Top Gear episodes though. Once I sit down and concentrate though I can write about 5 pages in 1.5-2 hours.

I'm a Math person.

2+5=8

2 pages = 3-4 hours. 10 pages = I have to start early or the night before I will never finish... unless I have like 14+ hrs. Then MAYBE.

 

[HereticKazuma]

Ugh... in my undergrad days, it took me about 1.5-2 hours for 1/2 a page of crap. =(

I used to write my friend's paper. It took me two hours for a 6-10 pager, and they got A's or B's. Those were the days. I saw this girl in class today that had four or five inch margins (left and right). The professor was really annoyed and told the class about it.
