Written tasks are cumbersome. But professors are\nparticularly keen on assigning them whenever possible as if classwork and tests\nare not enough to evaluate a student. Hence, you end up spending a night over\nthe half-finished task that still lacks an essential page or two. You are\ntired, run out of motivation and imagination. All you want is to save the\ndocument, upload it to the dashboard, and go to bed. But the instructor put\nspecific requirements you need to meet, no matter what. If a strict page\nrequirement is what haunts you, take our tips and increase the size of your assignment\nwith little stress and effort. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #1: Look Back at Your Prompt\/Rubric\/etc.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The chances are, you created in\nhaste and forgot to include something important that you planned to use or that\nwas asked in the grading rubric. Read the rubric through, tick each point that\nyou covered and then add the points that you missed. Whether the insufficient\nnumber of in-text citations or opposing points of view and its refutation, your\nprompt can tell what else to jot down to make your text slightly bigger. This\nis the first step to take without resorting to ages-old cheats of tampering\nwith intervals, styles, and other things so disliked by profs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #2: Avoid the Old, Obvious Tricks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes, we all know recommendations to increase spacing, font sizes, use period trick (like making periods and commas larger than the rest of characters), to tamper with the right margin, add more lines to headers, and so on. 12 pt Arial, Cambria, or Bookman Old Style are all bigger than 12 pt Times New Roman, and so using them will make the piece longer<\/a> without the inclusion of any new information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the truth is these things are\nthe easiest to detect and check even before the teacher starts reading your\nresearch paper or coursework. Statistics tab allows seeing the exact word\nnumber, and clicking anywhere in the middle of a typed line indicates the type\nand size of the font used.  So skip it\nfor good and make a robust overhaul of your story in terms of better\ncomposition and supporting evidence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #3: Go Back Through Your Introduction and Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After\nputting the last full stop, you may look at the introduction and conclusion and\nsee if they reflect what you have said in the body. It may happen so that you\nwill need to expand your thesis by several words, add more background info, or\nentirely rewrite the conclusion. Adding more specific points to the summarizing\nsection will lengthen your essay, the result you aim for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #4: Use multiple examples to back up your argument<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is universal\nadvice you should use. Whether making the first draft, or seeking to boost the volume\nof the text, add relevant examples where possible. Borrowed from the textbook\nor based on your experience, they add credibility and make your work look well\ndesigned and engaging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #5: Have Someone Proofread Your Essay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Editing does not always mean\nshortening. In your case, it means looking for gaps in argument and filling\nthese gaps with new sentences. After finishing, ask someone to read the paper\nand say what is unclear. These gaps are your slots to fill with extra word count (be sure to write essential things). When you proofread\nit yourself, see where a single short verb can be replaced with a formal phrase\nor a more complex sentence structure. Look up words in the dictionary and\nselect longer and more formal ones. \u201cLink\u201d can be replaced with \u2018build connection\u201d,\nreach out \u2013 establish contact or seek contact, agree \u2013 give consent, you can assist,\nintroduce more clarity or highlight the ideas with empirical evidence instead\nof a simple \u2018clarify\u2019 or \u2018give citation\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #6: Use Quotations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes,\nwe know \u2013 according to standards, quotations can take only 10 to 20% of the\nwhole writing, not more. But make sure you use this allowed space in full.\nCheck the total number of characters, number of characters indirect citations,\nand see if you still have some margin of allowed space to use. Pick citations\nwisely, and maybe you will further increase the word\ncount by explanations\nof the citations you picked. Consider even smarter way out: retell the citation\nin your own words, and so it becomes a valid part of your research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #7: Cite a Few Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you feel that the source you use\ndoes not feature proper citations, it is time to find another source. Google a\nscholarly article on the topic (no shady websites, please), and high chances\nare you will find a fresh citation to add and one more cool entry for your\nreference list. Combo!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #8: Review Your Outline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have one, look through it\nonce again. Maybe you did not cover a couple of points or can include something\nnew that was missed before. Ask someone to look at the outline, as well. They\ncan see gaps in reasoning faster than you, and so you will come up with a few\nnew sentences to jot down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #9: Include More Transitional Phrases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Transitional phrases and sentences\nare a sign of good academic writing and an excellent way to boost page count.\nTo give you a clue, here are the most common transitions that make thinking\nlook logic and smooth:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • To\nbegin with;<\/li>
  • Hence;<\/li>
  • Thus;<\/li>
  • With\nregards to…;<\/li>
  • As\na consequence;<\/li>
  • In\nlight of;<\/li>
  • However;<\/li>
  • In\ncontrast;<\/li>
  • On\none hand;<\/li>
  • On\nthe other hand;<\/li>
  • Therefore;<\/li>
  • To\nsum it up. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Transitional sentences are sentences\nthat lead readers from one section to another, linking thoughts into a firmly\nconnected story. They close one chapter and hint on what will be discussed in\nthe next one. E.g., \u2018The mentioned evidence demonstrates that the suggested\nlegal initiative was a failure, so in the next few months, the legislative\nbranch introduced a new, improved version of the bill.\u201d They are a cool way to\nincrease the length without making it watery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tip #10: Check Your Paragraph Format<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The above tip\nrelates to this point as well. The paragraph structure is complex, and this\ncomplexity allows you to boost the text size endlessly. This structure includes\na topic sentence, evidence from sources, and explanations that prove your\nposition. Profs usually ask for more reasoning of your own, because it is what\nshows how you understood the material. So use it broadly, just as the teacher\nrequired! Jot down everything you have to say on the topic, cite, retell\ncitations, and thoroughly explain why you chose these citations and such topic\nsentences. And do not skip transitions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tip #11: See if You Can Prove Yourself Wrong<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Yes, in texts where\nyou discuss controversial issues, mentioning and refuting the opponent\u2019s view\nis a key to winning a debate. Look up the most common objections to what you\nsay and question yourself if your text gives enough information to render these\nobjections invalid. Is this section missing? Congrats, you have just found what\nto add. This inclusion will make a whole right section and an additional page\nor two in length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tip #12: Make Sure Your Paper Structure is Solid<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Check if all\nsections are here. Introduction, conclusion, body sections, topic sentences,\nevidence, your ideas, support citations \u2013 \ngood work covers a lot of things. Profs deduct grades for lame\nstructure, so check that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tip #13: Take a Break and Read Your Paper Out Loud<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Yes, this simple trick works. After\nspending a few hours on the text, you become blind to possible mistakes and\ngaps. Take a bit of rest, then return to it and read. Thus, you will distance\nyourself from the task and assess it more strictly and objectively. Spots,\nwhere more words and sentences can be inserted to boost count, will become evident\nto you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tip #14: Ask Your Instructor for Help<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Professor\u2019s goal is not to humiliate\nyou or give you a bad mark. The goal is to teach you to think, analyze, and put\nyour thoughts together for others to read them. So if there is a chance to come\nthrough the draft or ready assignment with a professor or teaching assistant,\ndo it. Book a date and ask for advice. Most probably, you will get good ideas\non what to add and how to improve your essay writing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
