Managing Word Counts in MS Word, Google Docs, Turnitin and SpeedGrader

Author: Dr Sam Saunders and Will Moindrot

This guide provides advice to staff on the relationships between word counts presented to both staff and students across various platforms during the creation, submission and marking of assessments. It provides best practice guidance on managing these relationships to ensure proper adherence to word limits and minimise confusion among staff and students working on assessments.

“This guide does not aim to dictate what should or will be included in word counts for specific assessment contexts. Students seeking clarification on what is included in the word count for a particular assignment should consult their module tutor or school student experience team.”
