The word limits stated for this assignment excludes the reference list at the end of the assignment but include all text in the main body of the assignment (including direct quotations, in-text citations, footnotes, tables, diagrams, and graphs).

Please be aware that exceeding the word count limit will affect the academic judgment of the piece of work and may result in the award of a lower mark.
