Lol, what is that, 12 pages? You can't even say anything worth saying in 12 pages. That's well below the average length of the papers I had to write as an undergrad.
My longest was apparently 16,204 words. "Marxism, Ethnicity, and Diamonds: Competing Discourses on Civil War in Angola (1975-2002)"
'Twas a fun one.

Awesome, but they cram like 4-5 papers into a 5 week long class.
But that topic sounds like something I'de have fun writing. If I had the time...

Depending on the topic, 12 pages can be quite a bit. No teacher wants you dragging it on.

I think of guidelines as more along the lines of recommendations.

If you know how to write, and know how to explain something well, I don't think 40 pages is THAT necessary. I've had some proposals for work that have been that long but school work? Never.
