The word limits stated for this assignment excludes the reference list at the end of the
assignment but includes all text in the main body of the assignment (including direct
quotations, in-text citations, footnotes, tables, diagrams and graphs).
Please be aware that exceeding the word count limit will affect the academic judgement
of the piece of work and may result in the award of a lower mark.
Appendices are not considered a supplement thus will not be assessed as part of the
content of the assignment. As such, they will not contribute to the grade awarded,
however it may be appropriate to use an Appendices section for any material which is a
useful reference for the reader. Please note that appendices are not included in the
word count.
The majority of references should come from secondary sources (e.g., journal articles,
conference papers, reports, etc.) although you can also utilise area specific textbooks.
You must ensure that you use the University of UEL’s Harvard style of referencing.
Please indicate the word count length at the end of your assignment.
