As in-text citations of your sources is an assumed part of academic writing, the assessment word count does include the in-text referencing (i.e. author/date/page number). Quotations are also included in the word count. The title page, table of contents page, reference list or appendices are not included in the word count. It is recommended that you use a computer generated word count by selecting from the first word of the introduction (or if a report, either the abstract or summary) to the last word of the conclusion (or if a report, the recommendations).

All assessments specify a word count. An assessment that is within 10% of the specified word count (either more or less) will not be penalised. However, if you submit an assessment that is more than 10% under or over the specified word count, your grade may be penalised.

Most reports and case studies include headings but not all papers should; therefore, check with your lecturer or tutor to make sure that headings are appropriate for the specific paper you are writing. Headings should be formatted according to the following guidelines: • The first level should be centered and in bold. Each main word should start with a capital letter. First Level Heading • The second level should be left-aligned and in bold. Each main word should start with a capital letter. Second Level Heading • The third level should be italicised. Each main word should start with a capital letter. Third Level Heading • Paragraphs should begin on a new line. • Headings may be numbered, i.e. 1, 1.1, 1.2, 2, 2.2 and so on.
