I'm guessing the research papers are 2000 words apiece.<br /><br />Plus, one half pain point for dropped quotation, 2 pain points for every uncited summary or paraphrase, 1 PP for mangled Works Cited. Plus, 2 PPs for each wildly incoherent jumble sale of a paper.<br /><br />Basically, you'll get an average of 7 per paper. Given that 70 PPs is the equivalent of a George W Bush State of the Union, I'll give you two and a half days before the absinthe bottle lies toppled and reeking on your dining room table.Perfesser Slaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18121044187510013809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-11581330830285845202010-05-03T18:26:07.356-07:002010-05-03T18:26:07.356-07:00For bonus points, calculate this value after accou...For bonus points, calculate this value after accounting for instances of plagiarism, blind repetition of lecture points, failre to proofread or incorporate prior suggestions <i>as well as</i> occurrences of original thoughts, insightful theses and demonstrable academic/personal growth.<br /><br />My guess is 2.73 days.M.
