I've found that whenever I have a paper length requirement I either cut my argument short because I met the requirement and felt like I didn't need to write any more and thereby don't go into enough depth, or I go too much in depth and B.S. my way through the paper just to reach the paper constraints.
It is fairly counter productive to tell me a specific length of argument (5-15 pages is a good estimate, so is 50-80 because they are so broad) because I tend to shoot to get the assignment done rather than focus on it.
I know, I know, it's lazy, but I'm sure that's what most people are doing. Personally, I'm just trying to get my schooling done so I can get a several thousand dollar piece of paper to hang on my wall. I do all my learning in class, the assignments and tests are just not all that important to me as long as I pass and can get my diploma.
