Is your academic essay a bit short?
First, make sure that you have formatted your draft as required (usually professors ask you to double-space).
Faking a longer paper won’t make your writing any more persuasive or intelligent or analytical or factual. It won’t help you to learn what your instructor wants you to learn.
