Word limits and penalties for assignments Students should note the following criteria will apply

|
Up to 10% over word limit |
No Penalty: Situation flagged by tutor in feedback but over-run is tolerated and no deduction is made from the final mark.
|
|
More than 10% over the word limit |
The marker will stop reading when they judge that the word count exceeds the recommended word count by more than 10% i.e. for a 3000 word essay, the marker will read only the first 3300 words and will indicate on the text where they stop reading. The content following this point will not be read and a mark will be awarded only for the content up to this point.
