ESSAYS!
So I've got 2000 words to discuss violence and the wider social, psychological and moral issues raised by it. So far I've got 2061 and I've not written a conclusion/introduction yet.

I don't want to crop out all my badly-researched Foucault/Marxist criticism. Tell me some good uni essay anecdotes.

Ed: Violence in 'Great Expectations' and 'North and South', mid-Victorian literature basically.

I can't stand how I'm being limited by word count
My friends at other unis get an average 3000 word count, not 2000. At least they've got the space to develop an argument.

so write 3000 and condense it down
+/- 10% is usually allowed too so you have 2200

It used to be only last year
that if you were only 1 word over, you'd get hit for 5 or 10% of your mark. They've changed it now, but I'm still a bit 'oh em gee need to be under the word count!1'.
