• Tables and figures are counted in the total number of characters. It is your own responsibility to count all characters (incl. blanks) in both tables and figures even when these are inserted as images in the text (and thus are not automatically counted by Word)
• The following are not included in the calculation of the total number of characters:
  • Front page
  • Table of contents
  • Bibliography
  • Headers, footers and page numbers
  • Abstracts
  • Appendices: As appendices, you can submit data files and other documentation of methodological choices that do not count towards the character limit. The course lecturer will specify which type of documentation is required in the exam in question. Content that is to be assessed must be included in the assignment itself. The appendices will only be used to check methodological documentation in case of doubt.

Some seminars allow for group assignments - at ordinary and/or at re-exams. In this case the scope of the paper increases with the number of participants, and the specified scope can be found in each course description.

Individualisation requirement
The group assignment must be submitted in a form that enables individual assessment. This means that you must indicate who has written each individual section. The introduction and conclusion are allowed to be joint. Assignments that do not allow for individual assesment will be rejected.

In some cases, take-home assignments may be rejected without assessment if the formal requirements are not met. This will be done in the following cases

• When the time of submission is exceeded
• When the assignment exceeds the maximum number of characters
• When the following is missing from the assignment:
  • Front page containing all relevant information (to be completed via Wiseflow)
  • Bibliography (accurate specification of sources used in the assignment)
  • In case of group exams: indication of which student is responsible for each part of the assignment
  • In case of bachelor's project and master's thesis: English abstract
