I have only had one class where the quality of the writing mattered, and that class was history. All others, ie, English, Speech, even a lab class, it was the more you wrote, the better your grade. The big paper in history was minimum of 5 pages, I went 5.5 and got an "A." There was someone who had a 10 pg. paper and got a "C."
I know exactly what you are talking about, I hate it too. I can usually get my points across concisely without a lot of flowery language. However, I haven't had to write many papers in college, I only write lab reports and those are easy, do the math, report the results, explain the results, apply the results.
