Single spaced? That's going to be kind of hard to read. Why didn't they just ask for twenty pages double spaced, since it's online, and it presumably won't kill any trees either way? (Unless the teacher's planning on printing them out, and is a cheapskate when ti comes to paper.)
Good luck!

I always try to make it as close to the max as possible, but it turns out it's 10 pages single spaced. Yeah no. Now I currently only have four.Not to mention, I have to make a Power Point presentation as well, complete with voice over (it's an online class).
Wow @_@ long. What class is it for?
Although, if you're not comfortable, I really would suggest not trying to get as close to the maximum as possible. I think professors do prefer concision...

Grad school papers tend to go to about 20 to 25 double-spaced pages -- after a while, you kind of get used to it... 
You also get pretty good at going without any sleep for about 24 hours before one's due...

Hmmm... I'm not sure she is... 
Mirai: are you, or did the professor just decide to spring some surprise grad school practice on everyone...

Haha, yeah, I'm in grad school. This is my last quarter, thank god!
And apparently the professor is printing them out, which is why she wants single spaced. I'm going to aim for 6 pages now, there is no way I'm getting to 10 without rambling. I prefer to write short and simple, so I hope that this professor doesn't really care too much about page count. Unfortunately, I have had professors that do prefer length to concision D:

If she's printing them all and reading them single-spaced, her poor, suffering eyeballs may tell her that short is good.

My professor's wife came into class today to join our discussion. She's a genius, like him. They're so cute and magnificent. <3

Incredibly shitty day today 
I just had so much work to do that I was ill-prepared for class discussion. I could tell my professor was disappointed in me. Terrible feeling...
I feel like I may have jeapordized my grades this week.
Ugh, this is the worst.
