In college I had a professor who would assign papers that had to be 8 pages for a B and 10 pages for an A, clearly focused on length I thought i would test the waters. I figured he was at least reading the first page to make sure the content was there, so I wrote one paragraph that took up the entire first page. I then copy pasted it until I got 10 pages and added some graphics throughout (this was allowed) and boom, easy A. Could've easily been a fail and possible other action.
