Sugar on every word

Today I had my first exam in Philosophy. Our task was to write explain Plato's Cave and Republic and how Nietzsche's philosophy was a result and extension of Plato. Oh yeah, also tell why democracy is the worst form of government. I've said it before and I'll say it again - I disagree with much of what the professor teaches. But I've got to get a grade, so I'll put sugar on every word I write for him.



We were told that the exam should take eight to ten pages to write out. The material we read and discussed was a lot of repetition, so I figured I could whittle it down some. Also, I am terse almost to a fault. When I finished writing, reread, and was satisfied with my product I had only used four pages That amount seemed awfully short. After class I asked a couple of guys how much they had put on paper. "Six pages" was the reply. Mine wasn't too short but I'm curious to see how I'm graded. I know I got all the material in.
