Since only a few people on the face of the earth actaully do papers or reports well before the due date, whats the biggest paper you have done the day it was due(or within 24-36 hours)??

Im working a 7-12 pager right now thats due at 6 tonight(just the rough draft though). Im not too worried about getting it done since its a pretty easy paper, but even if it was hard, I would still find a way to put it off until the last minute.

In the Spring I did an 11 page paper the day before/day it was due. I finished it maybe 15 minutes before it was due in the teacher's mailbox. I got there right before 5:00 just as she was about to collect all the papers

hmm, 2 semesters ago, I did my business management plan in about 3 hours, probably less. We had to create a whole management plan,for a business that we created. I picked the business and did all the work in about 3hours typed signed and ready to go. I even did the oral report that morning or before class rather and presented it after I wrote it

Grade: A+ I work best under pressure

If anyone has every seen the movie the INSIDER it is about Jeffrey Wigand... well anyway, he was my sophomore year chemistry teacher in high school. We had a research paper due and I wrote a 23 page paper, annotated and footnotes and all in 7 hours one night. I did the research that night too. I slept through classes the next day, but since it was two papers and 3 tests I had to do good. Got an A too!

I wrote a 25 page paper in a day but I had done all the research earlier in the week. It literally took me all day.

Am I the only person who works ahead?

Heh, my last semester as an undergrad I decided to do an independent study paper on...here's the title " Successful and Unsuccessful Application of Air Force Core Values to Military and Political Leadership during WW2." My sponsor and grader of the paper was an Air Force Col. who has been in service for 26 years, so he knew his history. I miscalculated my estimate on how long it would take and ended up having to add 15 pages of writing to the 18 I already had. I woke up at 6:30 and worked straight, with only a break for lunch until 4:30 the next morning when the final draft was due. But, i got all 33 pages to him and got a B+, which i thought was pretty good because he was a perfectionist on the subject matter.

20 page paper....worth 90% of my grade. Finished an hour before due time.

Beef · #11 12-05-2001, 05:35 PM

ONLY 2.5 HOURS LEFT!!:

I think I can get away with slapping the rest together since the grade isnt on the rough draft... I want to ace this so I can make sure I get an A in the course. I think I am in the low 90s or maybe at 90% right now.

In high school I was enrolled in English Literature. Because I was in the school musical, and a great procrastinator, I did a 20 page paper in 2 days... I literally worked from 3 pm til 12 am for two days straight.
Lets just say I could write a literary evaluation on Tess of the D'Ubervilles by Thomas Harvey!

At least she recognized my hard work at I got a 96%! I STILL HAVE THE PAPER!

Biggest paper? I believe it was the Sunday New York Times. That sucker is heavy.

Seriously, I had a class in college that required five papers (5-8 pages each) during the quarter. I sat down and wrote them all on a Saturday.

Have never done that before or since. I usually waited until the last minute.

While my Law Prof. Stated " Mr. Earp, if Bullshit was worth a Grade you would have An A +

the most paper I used one day is when I had the runs and went thru half a roll

My master's thesis. j/k

My degrees were in computer science, and other than the thesis, I didn't have a lot of big papers to write. But I did have to write some major computer code...!

I did a team project once with 3 other people... we had a month to do the thing, and I wrote my code modules way ahead of time. The other 3 totally slacked off. So we pulled an all-nighter in the computer lab the night before it was due, and since I'd finished and unit tested my parts of the code, I got the unenviable task of writing the documentation.
