I want to riff on this at more length. My current paper-length thinking - I haven't yet implemented it in all of my courses, but I'm slowly doing so - is to pattern the lengths of assignments explicitly off of common article length guidelines in actual publishing 1/6https://twitter.com/jpnudell/status/1440733190281252868 …

Do you grade everything electronically? I would do word counts, but I much prefer to write comments on a physical paper and I don't want to count the words myself.

I prefer to grade on paper. I tell students to put a word-count at the end of their paper. Honestly, I can tell if they're fibbing it pretty easily and with such sharp short papers, if they're fibbing they're only cheating themselves out of words they need anyway.

I’ve been trying to move into this for my students, though I mostly teach freshmen and some of them find that more overwhelming, probably because we’re talking in hundreds and thousands (and not knowing yet what that translates to page-numbers wise).

A startup-world inspired thought: consider also having an even shorter length! Many briefs have to be super focused because the execs/investors won't read past the first two paragraphs. Conveying max info in severely constrained space is a unique and valuable skill!

How did you find out about my paper for Music Appreciation? (Back when writing without a typewriter was new.)
