chrisncal2 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, I was just wondering which portions of the written assignment (HL A Lit) count towards the word count? Do the title and embedded citations count? Thanks in advance Edited January 26, 2015 by chrisncal2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibprincess Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 citations don't count in anything i think i know quotes count and what you write obviously counts but i'm not 100% on the title Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofia. Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Footnotes + bibliography + ev. cover page do not count towards the wordcount. I don't think the title counts, but I wouldn't bet on it! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debanjanjan Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I think the word count only consists of the content (main body) of your essay. In-text quotations are included, but the title or bibliography doesn't go towards the word count Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisncal2 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 alright guys thank you so much! I'm screwed if the title counts though Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sofia. Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Then just remove a couple of words or talk to your teacher, who should know. You do not want to lose your Diploma because of a wordlimit. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisncal2 Posted January 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 judging by the looks of it (having asked several classmates) the title does not seem to count, but I'll confirm with the teacher just in case, thanks guys! Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
