Split: Word count: Queries

@M.

1. Do we need to write the exact word count…mine is overstated by few words.

Yes exact without words in graph and chars.

2. As they say research report must be over 7000 words…mine is above 7000 words when i count cover page and table of content otherwise it is 6998. is that fine?

Whole RAP must be over 7000 in which analysis must be 4000 over. Thats fine if you meet this.

3. I just realized one mistake in project in power point slides i have written three zeros with turnover instead of million for 6 zeros (i did it alright in research report)…although this is the only mistake i have found in my entire project ….but can you guide me if a single mistake like that can prove costly

Thats not a mistake its fine. Other mistakes is not meeting word count limit and not providing much external references.

Thank You.

i changed my email in obu dashboard…it is now showing my new email in my profile…does this mean i don’t need to send them any mail at the address you mentioned above or is that also required.

I have an issue with the word count being too low. I was going for the quality of the report rather than quantity and ended up with only 5500 words. is this too low to achieve a pass?

I have not included the graphs in my report rather I have included in the power point slides and excel tables.

Please advise.

Thanks

There is a requirement in the information pack that clearly states that you have to show evidence of using IT in your report. By putting these graphs and tables in PowerPoint slides you will not be able fulfil this requirement. so, you will have to show these tables and charts in your research report if you need to pass this RAP.

Dear Hammad.

Are we allowed to use ACCA and OBU logo in our project headers or footers for better presentation?

Thanks in advance.

To Me

Dear student,

Thank you for your email. I will try to explain what we need from you;

The project (RAP) has a maximum allowance of 7,500 words, any words in excess of this will not be marked;

Each section has a SUGGESTED word count, these are not fixed and there is no penalty if you write more or less in each section;

You will have some words, on your title page, contents, acknowledgements, etc that you will have to count to the total;

Your total available for Parts 1,2 & 3 will then be less than 7,500 words

You need to remember to count all words, including any words AND NUMBERS in table, graphs and pictures;

I hope that this helps, but please remember you are only asked to write between 7,000 and 7,500 words.

We look forward to receiving your project,

Kind regards,
John

this email clearly means all words from start till end will be counted..

@cheeta0123
Yeah, based on your information your word count is 7500. My word count was 7491 which included 358 words in charts and graphs. BTW words in table are counted by Microsoft word.

Thanks for the tips. So there’ll be no scale shown?
We still need one of the axis to reflect year, right?

jk0323 thanxx but is it really too pathetic for OBU to count manually all words in PIC graph etc..bceoz word dont count it auto…

What would u say they really bother to do this for every report….?

and kindly tell me your part 1 2 3 and cover and index pg word count separately so i would get an idea….

Thanxxxx

@isookvi

Minimum Wordcount for RAP is 7,000. Your analysis must be over 4000. Further, you need to increase your word count.

Word count include everything except for list of references and appendices (these are two separate documents).

Thank You.

@noms_online

You are allowed but use company’s logo not OBU or ACCA.

Thank You.
