“Dear Martin……
In terms of your example, if the graph is fully embedded in a Word document you may find that Word counts everything including the numbers. However if embedded as a picture you should allow 10 words, as you have identified, towards your total number of words.”So they will not be including graph axis and data labels on plot points are not included. That’s an extra hundred words to play with 🙂
Hello,
I have read the latest guidance in the 2013 – 2014 guidance pack for the BSc RAP but still have a query.
The word count has been changed to 7500 and now includes everything from start to finish. To clarify does this include say… the axis on a graph?
If i was to include every piece of readable information including axis labels and data labels this would be a total of 32 “words” for the graph i’m looking at. If i were being kind its only say 10 words as i’m excluding the axis and data labels.
This 22 word difference may seem trivial but multiplied over say 10 graphs we have a variance of ~220 words! And I wouldn’t like my project rejected because of something so trivial as a word count.
I’ve emailed acca@brookes.ac.uk but I was wondering if anybody from submission period 27 had this issue?
Thanks in advance,
MartinThanks @smoke I’ve justified my choice of years (most recent annual financials available) in part 2.
@suleman I don’t fully understand your question. If you are asking how your Bsc Level is calculated it is based on a combination of the grade your RAP receives and papers F4 – F9.Okay. I see in the current guidance now it clearly states use the most current financials available. Presumably this is to dissuade people copying older successful RAPs.
https://business.brookes.ac.uk/undergraduate/2014/acca/files/information-pack.pdfI guess my question still stands. How old is reasonable. On submission in May 2014 the most recent financial statements for my entity will be a half year report to 30/09/2013. Presumably I’m okay to use the 3 years up to the most recent full annual report to 31/03/2013?
