N.B. Your bibliography IS NOT included in the word count.

It is a requirement to submit a copy of your group blog in the appendix of your essay. The blog is NOT included in the word count and is NOT assessed but it provides evidence of group work. It is also a requirement to reference correctly. There will be a detrimental impact to your result if you fail to comply with the requirements.
