Re: The Official Talk About Whatever Thread
Total word count is 9,732.
It's also a thesis, not an essay
I don't have set contact hours but I am normally doing 9am-4/5pm days. Sometimes I work later, such as tonight, sometimes I work less though.

Re: The Official Talk About Whatever Thread
That seems quite low, is that excluding appendices, footnotes etc?
Fair enough.

Not appendices, It is quite low, the max word count allowed (not including references, abstract, appendices et al) is 8,000 so it can't be long to begin with.

Only 8000?
Good luck cutting that down.

I'm actually at a tad over 6,000 once I discount everything.
The trick is to be concise everywhere

Being concise is overrated

I'm probably going to end up being over 8000 after I change all the things my supervisor wants me to change

Connect words using ... but put it in white font to lower the word count without your trickery being discovered.

I don't know if that will work since they manually count them to ensure I am not over.
Nice trick though.

Must be a fun night for the markers counting individual words.

Doesn't that show up if you highlight the whole doc?dostoevsky wrote:Connect words using ... but put it in white font to lower the word count without your trickery being discovered.

Or maybe they'll deliberately change the colour of the whole doc to black (they probably don't really care).

It will, though the best way to get around word counts for works that won't be checked manually is to be interesting. Markers only care if the student is boring them or waffling.

If you have to submit an assignment through turnitin, the program automatically discounts any words inside quotation marks from your final word count

The old white quotation marks at the start and end of the document trick

For the record kids, you're good enough to do things properly and I don't want any of my beloved section to be anything less than model academics

Really?fatman123 wrote:If you have to submit an assignment through turnitin, the program automatically discounts any words inside quotation marks from your final word count
Doesn't really matter for our assignments though, they like to make us include cover sheets and reference lists which screws up Turnitin's word count anyway. Then some subjects do and don't include in-text citations in the word count, and .. I don't think they really bother for us at least.
