Your professor says "Write a 5-page paper about fish"...

[DaveSimmons]

Here's page 1:

Fish heads, Fish heads
Rolly polly Fish heads
Fish heads, Fish heads
Eat them up, Yummm

Fish heads, Fish heads
Rolly polly Fish heads
Fish heads, Fish heads
Eat them up, Yummm

In the morning
Laughing, happy
Fish Heads
In the evening
Floating in the soup

Fish heads, Fish heads
Rolly polly Fish heads
Fish heads, Fish heads
Eat them up, Yummm

Ask a Fish head
Anything you want to
They won't answer
They can't talk

Fish heads, Fish heads
Rolly polly Fish heads
Fish heads, Fish heads
Eat them up, Yummm

I took a Fish head
Out to see a movie
Didn't have to pay
To get it in

Fish heads, Fish heads
Rolly polly Fish heads
Fish heads, Fish heads
Eat them up, Yummm
They can't play baseball
They don't wear sweaters
They're not good dancers
They don't play drums

Fish heads, Fish heads
Rolly polly Fish heads
Fish heads, Fish heads
Eat them up, Yummm

Rolly polly Fish heads
Are never seen drinking
Cappacino in Italian restaurants
With Oriental women...Yeah

Fish heads, Fish heads
Rolly polly Fish heads
Fish heads, Fish heads
Eat them up, Yummm

Fish heads, Fish heads
Rolly polly Fish heads
Fish heads, Fish heads
Eat them up, Yummm...
(Yummm)

Fish heads, Fish heads
Rolly polly Fish heads
Fish heads, Fish heads
Eat them up, Yummm

Fish heads, Fish heads
Rolly polly Fish heads
Fish heads, Fish heads
Eat them up, Yummm
YEAH!!!!!!!!!

If you write a double-spaced paper and your professor gives you an F because it was supposed to be single-spaced, what would you do?

It's a catch22, most profs will fail you equally easily for a paper twice as long as it was supposed to be.

So it sounds like double-spaced is the way to go. That way if you get an F, at least you didn't do more work than necessary.

This assignment is quite easy really. Hand in a copy of Dr. Seuess's "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish."

I don't think that would help in this case...

Are you joking?!

Nope. I'm serious. I take writing papers seriously and I believe presentation is important as well as content.

just my opinion.

since you spelled effects wrong, I dont think its wise for him to take your paper..

I don't make typos often, so I'm absolved.

I'd think that would piss professors off. I like small font (like size 1 on websites, two lines of handwriting per college-ruled line), but I still think size 12 papers look fine. Do you have OCD or something?

Presentation is a lot.

That said, 12pt double spaced Times New Roman is about as ugly as you can get. I dunno why this has become the standard for papers.

There's apparently some sort of psuedogoverning body on language called the MLA. They said so, and thus it is so.

if I was your professor, I'd probably give you an insta-fail double spacing = great when you're reading a ton of papers. makes it easier for the eye to follow down the line, and it gives us room to write corrections/notations without writing over other text or cramming it in the margins.

Serif fonts are supposed to be easier on the eye as well, at least in print, which is how TNR has become the MLA standard. I'm not sure I 100% agree with that, but I think the prominance of computers is changing it. (the same theory holds that sans-serif fonts are easier to read on a computer screen).
