Hey folks,
Quick question — how seriously do you take length requirements for assignments? My uni professor asked for 1500–2000 words, and I hit 1350. The content is solid, but I’m wondering if being under the limit could affect my grade. Thoughts?

Hey! In most cases, falling below the minimum word count, especially by 150 words, can affect your grade. Even if your content is solid, professors may see it as lacking depth or failing to meet expectations. It's usually safer to be within the assigned range. Try expanding a few arguments or adding examples to strengthen your points. Also, check if your university allows a ±10% margin.

Following length guidelines isn’t just about word count — it shows you can meet expectations. Institutions often set ranges based on how much depth they expect. Being way under or over can hurt your clarity or structure. I always aim for the middle of the range.
