Students are expected to adhere to the word count for this assessment.  Work that is significantly under the specified word count is indicative of not covering the marking criteria in sufficient depth: work that significantly exceeds the word count is generally indicative of a writing style that is not sufficiently concise for academic writing.  If a student does not adhere to the word count, assessors may determine that the task has not been completed in accordance with instructions, and reflect this in the mark awarded.
