Will I lose marks for forgetting to put my word count in the cover sheet?

cant speak for other tutors but when I mark papers I am trying to see reasons to increase the grade rather than catch folks out - the marking grid is the key arbiter

Also, hopefully true of other tutors too, I would never give a mark at the top of a grade boundary (ie a 69 when 70 is distinction). Its common in my Uni to only allow three numbers: n2 n5 n8, so a 42 if its a weak pass, 45 if its average, 48 if its solid

Word count is an interesting one, technically we are supposed to stop reading when we reach the word limit so as not to advantage the over long paper

Ione mark is deduced due to no word count is provided", right?

Thank you! Technically my paper is under the word count (by about 100 words), I just forgot to put the total word count on the cover sheet, in your opinion is it possible that might negatively impact the overall grade even though the paper itself is within the limit?

Well, in basically every place I've taught we have been required to note this sort of thing in the feedback. In one dept the penalty for formatting errors was specified on the spec sheet. It won't be much if they knock off anything at all. Sometimes it's easier jsut to say 'don't forget x next time'

just done the same mistake welp, is there a possibility I may even fail the coursework because of it? Been panicking and hating myself for always submitting work way before the due date. Its due tomorrow and I could have totally fixed it before submitting.
