Generally for assignments you are required to use size 12 Times New Roman. Unless specified otherwise.

If no font size has been allocated, I guess you can use whatever you want within reason.

10 to 12 seems suitable. It all depends on the font some are larger, some are smaller.

Anything below 12 is too small for me, 12 with TNR and 1.5 spacing is the standard at my school anyway.

The bigger the fonts the more easy the teacher can read it and won't complain about the size, so size 12 should be recommend but i did mine as size 10 and its still okey to read

you should be using 12pt as most people have said, and times new Roman, if you make it too small the teacher is going to know why, cut your assignment down, this will be a valuable skill for uni, or better plan your assignments in the future

Are you serious? I feel sorry for anyone who has to read your essays.

as already mentioned, size 12 is standard. Times New Roman or Arial is approved for those using laptops for hsc exams
