Attacking the person instead of the point, known as an ad hominem fallacy, undermines rational debate by diverting attention from the argument's merits to irrelevant personal characteristics.

how much time do you set aside to write a paper?
Weegy: It depends on the length and difficulty of the subject. But normally I set aside 3 hours to write a paper. User: how could your writing improve by seeting aside time over a few days verus 30 minutes the night before the paper is due? Weegy: Far too many students start their papers the night before they are due and write straight through until their deadline. Most have even deceived themselves into thinking they write best this way. They don’t. [ Professors give out assignments at the beginning of the semester for a reason: so that you have ample time to plan, research, write, and revise a paper. Taking advantage of that time means that not only will you produce a better paper but you’ll do so with less stress and without losing a night of sleep (or partying) the evening of the due date. Block out time at the beginning of the semester — e.g. 2 weeks for research, 2 weeks for writing, 2 weeks to let your draft “sit”, and a few days to revise and proofread. During your writing time, set aside time to write a little bit each day (500 words is incredibly doable, usually in less than an hour — a short blog post is that long!) and “park downhill” when you’re done — that is, end your writing session at a place where you’ll be able to easily pick up the thread the next day. ] (More)
