do you think my teacher is actually gonna sit there for hours counting for 750 words on 200 student's essays?

I usually count how many words are in the first full line of the paragraphs, then multiply that number by the amount of lines on a page to get an approximation. A professor taught me that in college and it is what most of my colleagues do.

As an online college instructor, yes, I check for length of essays and online postings. It's part of my job.
Students have a requirement to meet certain criteria in their assignments, of which length is one (others being proper grammar, spelling, completeness, opening/closing paragraphs, etc.). If I don't check for these things (per the grading rubric I hand out to all students at the beginning of the class) then I'm letting the students down.
You see, in life, bosses set requirements for assignments, too, and usually don't cut much slack when it comes to meeting those requirements. And since school is supposed to be prep for life and the workworld... well... do you see what I mean?
So, yes, I use Word's "word count" function to tell me how much that amount of text is, and either check each paper individually, or create a benchmark and base the others on it.

no. Instructors that I have had asked us to e-mail them our papers so they can check it on word and then grade the content. Teachers know if a paper is of the right length or not.
Remember you get out of school what you put in. 750 isn't that bad in my opinion, and also it's under 2 pages double spaced.... thats not terrible

No I highly doubt she'll do that. I'd make it 750 words though or at leats so it looks like 750 words. 750n words would probably be around five paragraphs or so. She'll probably just check to see if it looks to be 750 words or if it's the correct format (if she assigned you one).

heres my revised version of your intro :] on account that im too lazy to do the full essay lol at the back of the mask, the capes, and the costumes lie the adjust-egos of Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne. whilst many bicker and preserve their sought after superhero and why their features cause them to uniqely ''extra appropriate'' than yet another, many are somewhat alike. Batman/Bruce Wayne and Superman/Clark Kent are alike in many techniques in spite of the incontrovertible fact that for the duration of addition they fluctuate in countless categories which contain social status, adjust-egos, and character. ok, so i revised it and caught the sentence approximately how many bicker & preserve.. yet I dont experience that sentence belongs there bc its no longer proving a factor. The sentence the superb option after it says something "in spite of the incontrovertible fact that they fluctuate" whilst the sentence approximately bickering & protecting says the completel opposite approximately how they're all ALIKE. idk perchance you may desire to take it out and upload onto the nex stenece nicely stable success !

I think they check the content when they read the essay.
