I have an essay to write with broad word count specifications:
2,000-10,000. What should I consider to determine the best length for what I am going to write? It is about first responders’ interactions with cancer patients of different backgrounds.
The standard length of an essay depends on the amount of time you have. If you have time constraints, choose an essay format based on split proofs and try to write 4-5 paragraphs . For essays without a rush, you can use other formats that are not limited to proof splitting. I will not post them here.
The length of the essay is determined by the person issuing the assignment and should be part of the assignment instructions. If your instructions do not tell you anything, ask your teacher.
