Importance of Word Count and Presentation Timings

Assignment word counts and presentation timings should always be observed. Ignoring a word count increases significantly the risk of your work losing marks because it lacked focus and clarity. Students will be required to state their word count on all submissions. A 10% leeway will be allowed – so the maximum a student should submit will be the word count + 10%.

The word count will exclude:

The title pageThe contents pageModels, graphs, data tables and other exhibited figures or imagesLists of referencesAppendices (these should be kept to a minimum)

In addition, timings must be observed for assessed presentations for the same reasons.
