UT Dallas - Computer Science - Class of 2021

Depends on the topic and how passionate I am about it. I'm bad with writing when I'm rushed, so I usually spend 2-3 hours a day over 3-4 days to get it to final quality. If it's a topic I'm good with then I can get one done in 2 days, but that is rare. Of course, I've knocked out a couple in a night each because I procrastinated, but they weren't my best work.

yea was gonna say i lucked out with a project doing a presentation for the chernobyl incident once(i have long since child-hood been absolutely fascinated with the whole thing haha) so i basically breezed through it within a day or two and got the quality/grade i wanted :)

Shit I graduated. Why didn't I unsub from here?

Depends on what I'm doing.

Want an A -> work ass off -> 3-5 days of 3-4 hours of work

Want a good paper but A not necessary -> 2-3 days of 2-3 hours of work

Something to turn in -> 1 day, 3 hours work

level 1

If it's something to do with English or history, it doesn't take more than 5 hours for research and writing. If it's technical writing for a STEM subject then usually double that time. And if it's something philosophical or a required English course that everyone takes, I wouldn't spend more than a couple hours.

If it's due the next day, about 4-5 hours

It depends on the topic. I'm usually writing for astrophysics, so it takes 4+ hours of research just to write a single sentence. That means it could take me many hours to write and revise a 5-page paper. It takes many tens of hours to write something up to 15-20 pages, and it took me weeks of solid work to write my 40-page literature review for my thesis.

level 1

I usually do research for 2 days, about 4-5 hours in total. I then outline the paper which takes about 3-4 hours. In my experience, writing the paper itself takes the least amount of time.

level 1

One time I pulled off a 11 page term paper in about 4 days. Got a A- too (really good for the prof) and laughed at some of the students that cried to the prof about how they spent the entire semester working on it only to get the same grade.

When I write a paper, the ideas that come to my head have to go down on paper immediately or I'll forget about it. So i try and divy up sections and write them in an two hours each sitting.

Research usually only takes me a couple of hours for a five-page paper, and writing it takes me about 2 1/2 hours, depending on the subject.

Depends. Typically I dragged them out, but I did once manage to write a six-page paper two hours before it was due. Got an A, but the stress was not worth it at all.

level 1

For my film papers, it can be anywhere from a day (start to finish, research and all), but more often than not I'll be doing research, coming up with (and changing a thesis) over the course of a week. All in all, probably like, 10-13 hours work spread over a week-ish, with about a day or two of writing spread over 4 hours.

level 2

Must be a pretty poor paper

level 1

Usually I do it in 2 days, one for researching and the other for writing. About 5 hours per day.

If you want to save tons of time with citations use Mendeley, works wonders, but you need you studend mail.

level 1

Best I've done is one minute before it needs to be printed.
