I'm currently working on the assignment and it required 2500 words. I can't seem to get past 900.
For some reason I'm having a tough time putting together a research paper on a made up scenario with a made up company. I would appreciate any tips.
Would they kick back or give a low score if I turned it in without the required amount of words?

I had a similar issue when doing Business 303 Assignment #2 case study, they did give me a low score and pointed out that my paper was below the minimum required word limit. I had around 600 words out of the 1,000 words required, however I found some of the grader's notes to be helpful - for example they provided additional details my paper was lacking such as revenue, operational details, number of employees & suggested adding a diagram for a better understand as my implementation was loose.

Are you at least hitting the rubric?
You likely depending on exam get a low score and pass, easy to see what you need.
I just wrote fiction and went with it. I think I actually only did around 2100 words if I recall.
Certificate for the Study of Capitalism at University of Arkansas finished July 2022
MBA with Hellenic American University started March 29th, 2021 , finished May 20th 2022, Graduated in June 2022
BSBA at Thomas Edison State University started May 21st 2020 with Sophia and SDC, finished Jan 24th, 2021, Graduated on 12 March of 2021
Total time to complete both degrees 2 years exactly, total cost just a small bit over $10,000
Thanks Degreeforum!

I keep going back and referring to the rubric to make sure that I'm at least hitting them. The fact that this is relying on 1/3 of the score is what's getting to me. I read that the exam isn't just like the quizzes. Fortunately, I passed the quiz on the last few chapters to test my own knowledge which hopefully means something as far as the exam goes. I do plan on studying the flash cards as soon as I'm done with this exam.
Now I'm up to 1200 words. I just don't want to keep on rambling about something just to hit the numbers. Most of my sentence are now "I would do this" and "I would do that". Ugh...

Writing a paper is about coming up with ideas that support facts (source 1). These facts are things that can be used to persuade your reader (source 2). More stuff such as diagrams and pictures can be used (source 3). This is an easy way to write by using sources (source 4). My thoughts matter, but who needs thoughts when you can borrow others (source 5). The end. (my original thought).
