When I was an undergrad, I was guilty of every one of these
sins at one point or another. It's amusing now to look back
at how naive I was to think that my profs weren't aware of
what I was up to.

for the past several years, I would have identified the major
problem as inflating the text in order to meet the minimum
page number requirement given by the instructor. First,
increase the margins. Second, increase the font size.
Third, switch from Times New Roman to Courier New.
Fourth, go back through the paper and see where you can add
"the fact that" or other equally useful phrases.
