Referencing and Grammar

Hi can someone give me advice please. I have forgot to put my reference list (Harvard style) in alphabetical order and forgot to put the date of access for the majority of my references. I also made 2 spelling mistakes, a sentence doesn’t make sense and accidentally put double brackets.
How many marks will I likely lose / not be awarded ? Spelling and grammar is 10% and Referencing is 10% too. This assignment goes towards my final grade :frown:

Hard to say what the exact penalty will be and it also depends on whether the are other typos and referencing errors that have slipped under the radar.
There will be a hit but it may not be as bad as you think. The other thing to remember is that these error will only affect that 10% + 10%, so doing well on the other 80% should compensate.
