For most pieces of coursework, including essays, practical reports, literature surveys or projects, the word count should cover all text except the following which are not counted: Title, Appendices, Reference List, Contents section and the main body of figures and tables. Figure legends and table titles are included in the word count while the actual contents of figures or tables are not. The citations within the main body of the text are also included in the word count.
