4. Assessment

4.3. Word count policy

If there is a penalty for exceeding the word limit for a particular piece of assessment, you will be made aware of this in advance in the module syllabus or on QMplus.

There is no fixed penalty for submissions that are under the specified word length. In these cases, you will either have displayed skill in covering the material concisely, or else have failed to fully address the material. In either situation the normal marking conventions will take this into account.
