About writing ...

When I ask you to read an article and write a response, I mostly want you to demonstrate that you actually read the article and got the main point, as opposed to just reading the title and writing a bunch of nonsense. In most cases, one page is enough, and more than two pages is definitely too much. Remember, I have to read all of these, so I prefer that you keep it short and to the point instead of demonstrating your prolificacy with prose. It's also not necessary to use big words and long sentences to make your point; in most writing, shorter words and shorter sentences get across your point more quickly.

If you feel that the writing assignments are too much, you're probably writing too much.
