Most classes require you to do the opposite to hit some arbitrary word or page count. I only ever had one prof who called that out as stupid. "Your coworkers will HATE you if you take the habits learned in most English courses into the workplace. Less is more."

It's really hard to unlearn after spending years being as verbose as possible to inflate an essay.
