WORD LIMIT POLICY
Each assessment will have a specified word length range (i.e. a word count which includes the main text and notes but excludes the bibliography). The department does not permit a margin of 10% over the stated word limit: the word count is the absolute maximum. Students should be aware that the marker will not consider any work after the maximum word limit has been reached within the allocation of marks. Please note that the exclusion of concluding material in excess of the permitted maximum word count may substantively reduce the quality of the coursework submitted. It may also mean that the eligible part of the submission fails to include information needed to meet the stated learning outcomes for the assessment. In this way, students will be penalised for a failure to be concise and for failing to conclude their work within the word limit specified.
Unless specified in the assessment information, all coursework must be uploaded to Blackboard. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that they follow the correct procedure for submission. If a piece of work is submitted incorrectly it may not be accepted by the Faculty or it will be subject to lateness penalties as detailed above. It the student’s responsibility to ensure that they can access their Blackboard account prior to the assessment deadline. Please note, email submissions are not allowed under any circumstance.
