Another assignment done with too many words. Now I have to cut out half of what I wrote ๐ข
Edit: I cut out a third, that will do. Fortunately they are not extremely focused on the word count, so it should be ok.
I always make maximum use of the 5%/10% excess rule and shove as much as I can into tables where possible as they don't count in most assignments...
I always struggle with the word count. The first draft is usually a lot over, and cutting out the waffle always makes a big improvement. Having cut the waffle out I am still over, but the only other things I can cut remove full concepts which I don't want to do. It's a pretty relaxed subject in regards to things like word count though, so I think it will be fine as is.
