Quick ones:
- Use Courier New font. Even if there are font guidelines, this is almost always a legal font.
- Whatever the font size is supposed to be, increase it by .5.
- Make sure you double-space, unless you're told not to.
- Finally, do all that AFTER you finish your paper. That way, you know what you need to add to extend it to a proper length. Also, you may find you don't need to add anything.
As for the content, just find as many sources as you can that relate to your subject, and use them. Use your thesaurus to get longer words, and make sure you explain everything.
I wrote a 10-page paper on a Sunday night for a Monday morning class once, with only a couple sources and a very obscure subject. I got a perfect score for what amounted to me wiping my ass with the paper and handing it in.
I still have that paper too. Stinks a little though...
