Try replacing the 'it's' with 'it is' -----> that will prob get you like 10 more words? xD

Unfortunately, I was careful to put 'it is' originally to make it not sound informal XD

so at the bottom when we write 'Word Count: 1334342423' is everyone still including the number with the quotes and just making sure that their essay surpasses the min word count without them? that's what I'm gonna do anyway.

I did as well. As long as without the quote it's still within 10% I don't think it should matter at all!

Does the word count really matter? I've seen the example study skill assignments that were provided and some of the essays had around 666 words!!!

Please reply as soon as possible, thanks!

I think they were just extracts though! I don't know how much it matters but I'd rather not risk it. Just got an extra 35 words by putting one sentence in so it shouldn't take long to get it up.

The examples were only sections of the essay not the whole thing

Plan B

Add a whole load of words at the end of your essay and change the font colour to white!!! They'll never know :u:

To be honest I doubt it'll be absolutely fatal if we did include the quotes in the word count, as they didn't specifically say we shouldn't anywhere

Just checked mine it's 2 words into the word count of the lower 10% :eek:

I hope that's okay!! :|

Uploaded my essay yesterday and now I'm waiting for the subject specific essay. Anybody doing Sociology?

Panic averted, 3 sentences increased my wordcount by 100 words and put me at 1340 with quotes, 1160 without, so 10% within either way.
The only thing I'm slightly worried about now is only have used 3 of the recommended readings, but hey, I couldn't find anything relevant to quote in the other 2 and I'd rather it make sense. I also haven't referenced anything that wasn't recommended reading but meh, as long as I've shown I've read stuff and linking it to my own ideas it should be alright.

Gonna resubmit now and leave it WELL alone.

When does everyone think we will get the subject assignment they said today but I'm guessing they won't post it until after the deadline for it passes (midnight) so hopefully tommorow. I'm anxcious I hope it's do-able :colondollar:

Just submitted it. Oh god :eek4:

Also, does anyone know when we get the results for this?

I wonder HOW specific the subject assignments will be.
I mean, I've applied for chemical engineering and I'm wondering if I'll get one specific to chem eng or just engineering in general!

Are including page numbers to every quote you use ESSENTIAL? I reaaaally can't be bothered and just checked the full details of the Harvard referencing system and realised this.
