Reference not to form part of word count

brendansmith

Does this just refer to the references at the bottom of the essay where they are listed out or including the quotations you put in amongst the text?

Thanks

Trying to make up the word count, eh? Tip; instead of typing something like don't, pad it out instead with do not.

My friend here will answer for you, I'm feeling a little lazy

The only way to be sure, is to test it out in a word document for example by looking up "properties" in either case.
First without insertion and then with an insertion.

Let us know if your having any luck with your insertions.

You'd be better off asking the person who set the condition, they could have meant either and there's only one way to be sure.

Yeah, youre spot on there, I was hoping there would be a standard thing like

"No, the word count begins with your introduction and stops at your conclusion"

But its all up to the person correcting it isnt it really?!

I wasn't trying to be funny, I genuinely like stories.

Thanks, but I have a higher postcount than you, most of them are right here in afterhours and not one of them is in any way valid or worth reading. I rest my ballbag on this forum.

I've never come across an instance where quotations were not part of the word count. However, be sure that the quotations aren't too long, as word counts, even though they can seem arbitrary, are set at certain lengths for a reason and to encourage a particular depth of discussion. So: quotes are included, but to even a relatively inexperienced lecturer it will be as clear as daytime if you use them to bump up your word count.

Usually your word limit excludes bibliography and footnotes unless otherwise stated

I'm a good bullshítter.
I can pad it out for you if you're desperate to make up the word count?
