Whats the longest paper you people have ever written? (for college)

previously mine was an 11 page paper on roman entertainment But my current final project for my English class is going to be around 20 pages. I know thats nothing compared to a major thesis or something, but damn trekking through this bitch involves some serious time.

Longest one I've written is like 3 pages. Longest assigned was like 10 or something, but I didn't do it. I'm also only a freshman, and probably will be one for a while, so I got plenty more long papers ahead of me.

The longest I've written was a 10 page paper for Classical Philosophy. I did it on Aristotle's influence on western philosophy. That shit was a pain in the fucking ass. I made an A on it though.

thanks for the correction... jewunit - tend to your work my man, however I'm not really in the position to give out advice. I'm 5 credits short this year (took some courses that didn't count towards credit), so technically I will still be a freshman next year

I dont write papers per say.. The longest thing I did was a physics paper, about a falling ball.. We we're given 2 images of a ball falling down a tube, and had to analyze everything we could and work out as much as possible from these pictures..
was about 13 pages in the end including graphs..

I just finished a 15 page paper on Salvador Dali and the Paranoiac Critical Method, and last semester i did 10 pages on stem cell research. But in high school i had to do 20 pages of research for a science fair on a topic i cant even remember. what a waste of time!

I've done more than one 30+ pager.
I can write a paper very fast. For me, its not the page limit papers that kill me, its the timed presentations.
I can prepare 30 minutes of material and practice, and it still only takes me 20 minutes to say in front of an audience.

Funny, I got an A+ on my stem cell research paper in my Government class. A few point incentive if you turned it in early, so I got 100 on the paper +incentive.

He didn't ask for your highest grade on a paper, he asked for the length of the longest paper you've written.

I wrote a 20-pager on the narratology of Fitzgerald's Tender Is the Night for a senior seminar. Then I wrote a 90-page partial novel as my honors thesis.

godamn, 90 pages is ridiculous. although its all dependent on format
I've done a 30 page paper which was actually a script, so it was easy.
I've done a 20 page paper for my media class on visions of Utopia and Dystopia. but I had a partner for that one...however, its always difficult to synthesize two ideas, so it was sort of like 2 papers. Still pretty tough!

Eh, 90 pages doesn't seem that bad if it's a part of a novel. Don't get me wrong, I probably wouldn't want to do it, but I'd rather do that than write a huge fucking research paper.

10 pages. I did a majority of the research (but not the gathering of materials) and all of the typing in one day. It sucked. got 3.2.
