maximum word length. Where the text falls below this range, it may
not be regarded as a sustained and rigorous treatment of the subject
matter, and this would have implications for the mark awarded.

mandatory bibliography everything counts towards the word count
(including footnotes and the Table of Contents). This also applies
to assessed coursework.
