<p>8 page is not really that much for a UCLA class, especially since its double spaced. I’m a science major and even I have had several 10-15 page essays due in my GE classes. </p>
<p>The assignments vary a ton depending on which professor you take it with. Considering that there are a ton of different professors, I’m sure there is a lot of variability.</p>
<p>Looking briefly at the course description for Eng Comp 3:</p>
<p>“Lecture, three hours. Enforced requisites: satisfaction of Entry-Level Writing requirement, course 2 or English as a Second Language 35 (C or better). Rhetorical techniques and skillful argument. Analysis of varieties of academic prose and writing of minimum of 20 pages of revised text. Completion of course with grade of C or better satisfies Writing I requirement. Letter grading.”</p>
<p>So I suppose a minimum of 20 pages total.</p>
