HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO FIT A CASE STUDY IN 1000WORDS!!!

 

[shuning]

y not? my case study is 1200 words.. just cut 200 off (like 1 paragraph LOL )

 

[z600]

My was 3000 words minimum......1000 is pretty standard

You should be able to do 2000 words pretty standard in an economics essay, and in the HSC exam, you should be able to fill at least one and a half booklets on one case only. Maybe you should include more information in relation to your cases, such as concepts and ideas, or maybe relate to some secondary sourced material such as newspapers or internet articles. However, don't rely on them in your essay.

Haha...we had a word count of 2000, which waas feasible for 1800 - 2200...I ended up with 3500? :S

Our case study had a minimum of 2500 words.

Mine turned out 3200~

Most did around 4000 words easily and around 3 or 4 students got around the 5000 range. Obviously they got 100%, not because they wrote a lot- it's because they are the NERDS DAMMIT

Why would an assessment have a minimum word count?

 

[mrcalkin]

Why would an assessment have a minimum word count?

so students have idea of how much info is needed and to stop students copy pasting from the Internets.

 

[Tastegud]

Maybe so one person doesnt write 1000 and another 5000?
And they panic and try to kill each other?

 

[spence]

But surely only a max word count is needed

 

[gnrlies]

well realistically 1000 words should be enough. The whole point of this assessment is to give you the motivation to actually go out there and study a case study. It is usually a much better alternative than wasting class time on doing a case study collectively.

1000 words should be sufficient because you will study more information about the case study than you will need for the final exam.
