Study.com Essays and Assignments

[runningtherace2]

Thanks, everyone. Yeah I know it's nothing to stress about, but getting started on assignments is nothing new it's something I've struggled with since I was a kid. And while I know I could find ways to get all UL credit I need without writing essays (through Davar and Coopersmith) I realized this would be good practice for the capstone course. If I didn't do these papers, I would so lost when I take the capstone.

Also, just wondering how long does it take to write a paper or do a project for study.com from start to finish for you?

Well, it took me a week an 1/2 to do research on my 1st one, and I only started writing it after I knew what I was talking about. As a result, the quality was actually okay and I was under the wordcount minimum (something which SHOCKED me because I tend to be wordy and superfluous in my writing...), so I had to add more content, which took another day, plus editing/revising. Made an 83 on it.

On my 2nd paper, I blasted through it (cuz I was sick of it taking forever  ), researching as I wrote. Proved pretty effective time-wise, but was 500 words over Word Count (guess I threw my conciseness out the window in my rush), so it took all day yesterday to get it down to 1991 as opposed to the 2500 I had previously.

All in all took me 3 and 1/2 weeks (maybe a tad less).

Side-note: I was working a job 4 days straight through my 1st paper, so it did slow me down a good bit.
But I'm sure it'd be much quicker for people with more time on their hands and more focus
