    there is no word count altogether is there?
    cos you only get a page for the outline plan & evaluation of sources, so you're pretty limited with them anyway

    just the essay(including review) has to be between 1200-1500

    im prob a bit late at this stage....


    review should be between 200-250 words.
    in total, the essay & review should be no more than 1500.. otherwise that shoes "poor editing skills" apparently..

    Oh.. well - don't feel too bad - I was at like 1700 words so.. Wah... And I know a girl who was 1800... I guess I am going to get marked down incredibly for my editing skills in that case I guess... We were made to write it out in like 2 hours! I flew through it so I didn't get to read it and I bet I made a load of mistakes... *cries*

    Do you mean how to say what your sources were..books and websites?

    If so, you need the full title, author(s), Translater (if there was), Publishing company, date of publishing of the edition you have...and where published.

    With a website you need the entire URL, the site author or author of whatever you're using as a source, when you accessed the site in question, and when it was last updated.
