  - Assigning a word count would negate this. See? -- nm - nubby Jan 5, 13:40 16
    - Requiring it to be MLA format would require them to all use the same font and spacing. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 5, 13:44 2
      - I'm starting to really enjoy this thread. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 13:45 1
        
        *goes to give Professor Nubby a thumbs down on RateMyProfessor.com* - JaxSean Jan 5, 13:47
    - but what fills a page is based on what you would expect to see as a font. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 13:41 2
      - yes indeed, I needed that info to make a guess. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 13:43
      - 36 point font would have made a lot of my term papers easier to write. (nm) - musubi Jan 5, 13:43
    - so pick any damn number! -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 13:40 9
      - I think you've missed the point. -- nm - nubby Jan 5, 13:41 8
        
        nah, just messing with you. :) -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 13:43
        
        You want a word-count that will limit the number of pages. But since students will be able to choose any font size, t he number of pages will always - Beryllium Jan 5, 13:42 6
        
        That is why physics is really, really, really, really, really, really.. - nubby's students Jan 5, 13:45
        
        then add 20% if it's Dr. Seuss, subtract 20% if it's chemistry. - Reagen Jan 5, 13:43 4
        
        What about if it's Sanscrit? - musubi Jan 5, 13:45 3
        
        how about Hawaiian? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 13:46 1
        
        Look! This font is getting smaller so we better type more! - con_carne Jan 5, 13:48
        
        i expect that in Dragon, that might be enough space for one word -- nm - zork Jan 5, 13:46
about 450 with a 12 pt serif. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 13:34
