Lots of poor sentence structure and punctuation with quite a few general writing errors. If you are in college, I would give you a C (at best).
The content is good but the presentation is poor.

I would probably give you a C.
Most of the english teachers I had in college would probably give you an A-/B+ It was amazing some of the absolute shit people would give me to read during peer reviews. I think I wrote just about every college english paper the night before it was due, while drinking/drunk, and never got anything below a B-.

Statement still stands.
My minimum has been 4 pages for comp. classes. Which at those settings is about 3.
That's "minimum" meaning if you only do 4 pages, you get a C/D.
Most times I end up writing 8-10.

All of my longer papers that i tried to go over the "minimum" page requirement got me B's. All of my short and to the point papers usually under the "minimum" got A's.
I'm really slow at writing papers around 45 minutes to an hour to crank out one page. Multiply that by 10-15 pages average and my weekends went down the drain.

i tried to get a little ways into it but gave up. your writing is *terrible*, sorry. 
run on sentences and other grammatical errors all over the place. this thing would be covered in red ink if you gave it to an english prof.

For me, I can crank out a page in about 5-10 minutes (usually). Once I get ideas flowing, it start just coming out in mass quantities (
). I just had to turn in a paper that was 4-6 pages, and I wrote 8.Before hand, I ALWAYS talk to my professors.. they like when you do that. Shows you're "interested" in the topic/writing at hand. Ever since I started going to professors, and asking if I can write more they're always enthusiastic about it because I obviously "have a lot to say--and great detail".
Since going to professors, I've never NOT gotten an A. It's all about manipulating the system.. did it all through high school and just figuring out how to in College (after 2 years
)
