so i'm taking wrt101 finally and my essays for the course are supposed to be between 500-750 words; 750-1000; 1000-1500; and 1250-2000. well how many stinkin pages is that?

silver · 05-28-2005, 04:27 AM

well of course depends upon font but at the standard 10 font i believe you're looking at around 350 for the first page and 400 or so each additional. man its been a while though since i've written to a word count but that is off the top of my head. something tells me i'm wrong and its a higher number than that though

*pdiggitydogg* · 05-28-2005, 11:26 AM

standard font is 12pt
About 300-320 words is a page.
My 19page research paper was 5000words

Wren57 · 05-28-2005, 11:44 AM

Mine are normally 250-300 words per page using Times New Roman 12pt font. I guess I use larger words than most.

ok thanks! that gives me a general idea.

you can get away with 12 font?....or maybe i'm just too long removed from writing a paper that i'm confused. ehh...i seem to remember writing my papers in 10 though

Hell Rob...just type out a page and make Word do a word count. That should give you a good idea of how much more you have to write. I'm glad I got most of my heavy writing classes out of the way already.

*pdiggitydogg* · 05-29-2005, 12:22 PM

Yeah, MLA standard is 12pt
My profs would kill me if I wrote in 10pt font. They hate me enough as it is with my tiny print

yeah someone JUST showed me how to do that a couple hours ago. Thanks though!!

i envy you, i hate writing and I still got the next writing class to take. thank god after thats its mostly math and science, where writing, for the most part, is limited.

what's your major ?

*pdiggitydogg* · 05-30-2005, 10:08 PM

Somehow, I found a loop hole in my school's writing req's.
If I passed the final course, I wouldnt have to waste my time with the previous ones - I got a 3.7 and bypassed their little system.
If you have the chance, see if something like that exists for you.

i'm not sure what you mean, by passing the final for the last writing course you skipped everything? or by passing the last writing class you didnt have to take the ones that would have come before it?
