Is there a proper term for fillnig up a paper with excessively long quotes to reach the requierd length?

[notfred]

Just want to know if there's already a word for what I'm doing.

AFAIK - the quoted sections do not count twards your final word count (or at least at my college it doesn't).

You're prolly gonna get docked a bunch of points for it (like I did), but hey, I still got a B-.

notfred, it's "filling"

And we called it "BSing %1, Filling %1, Patching %1, Borrowing %1, Plagiarizing %1, Defragging %1, and adding pithy material to %1."

%1 could be, usually was, Paper, but could also be Essay, Thesis, Topical Study, Book Report, etc.

Courier New? That will pad, extend, and make your paper feel worse.

5 pages?!?! That should be easy them My final english paper for my high school AP english class turned out to be 20 pages long, although the requirement was only 7.

Haha funny story... last quarter an english teacher of mine gave out 8-10 page research papers, and one of the kids only wrote like 6 pages and skipped numbers. he had like 1,2,3,4,6,7,8.... i dunno if you can pull it off with a 5 page paper though
