 | Code 1: Any word limit will be enforced strictly and any excess will incur a marking penalty.
 | Code 2: Work judged grossly in excess of any word limit may incur a marking penalty or be returned for rewriting. If the examiner does not specify
 | some other threshold, or more, work will be judged grossly in excess of a word limit if its length exceeds that word limit by 10%
 | Code 3: Any word limit will be regarded as recommended rather than compulsory and no student will be disadvantaged by exceeding the limit.
 | As a default position, any penalty incurred will be equal to 5% of the total available marks for the piece of work for each 10% or part thereof by which the number of words exceeds the applicable word limit. For example, for an assessment task with a limit of 2,500 words, a penalty of 5% of the total available marks will be imposed for every 250 words or part thereof by which the submission exceeds (a) 2500 words where Code 1 is applied or (b) 2,750 words where Code 2 is applied.
 | If no code is specified in the assessement timetable or subject reading guide, the default is Code 2

 | Assessment is considered to be late if it is submitted after the prescribed time and date for submission, or after any extension authorised for the
 | purposes of special consideration has expired.

 | In all other cases, the marking penalty will be 10% of the total available marks per day (including weekends and holidays) or part thereof for that
 | particular piece of assessment.
