Think more in how many words it should be:how many pages should the pip be??
thanx
=D
xo
Everyone seems obsessed about having an appendix. Haven't you read the marker's comments? The one thing they say every year is that they aren't necessary, and the vast majority of students just attach them to make their work look good and don't talk about them at all, which does absolutely nothing for your PIP. So unless you've got something groundbreaking to say, don't use one.
Is that in the word limit??Mine's 94 pages at the moment... and couting. But then, my actual PIP is only around 30 pages. My focus group is 38. I figure, it took me ages to type up all my primary methodologies, so why not show it off?
Hey - well, the resource and appendix list isn't included in the word limit, so that's fine. At the moment, mine's 4500 but I need to cut my chapter five, so I can add more extensive reflection points. I'm aiming for 5500 ... 500 words over is ok, right?Is that in the word limit??
Officially you get a 10% over buffer, but i honestly doubt they'll care if you go over that as long as its not dribble.Hey - well, the resource and appendix list isn't included in the word limit, so that's fine.

I'm telling you right now, the markers will not appreciate this. This is the kind of useless, ridiculously unnecessarily long appendix that pisses them off, i mean come on man your PIP is near 100 pages long but only 30 of them are worth anything? It really doesn't reflect well on you, it just looks like your trying to beef up a mediocre PIP.Mine's 94 pages at the moment... and couting. But then, my actual PIP is only around 30 pages.

As long as students are aware that 95% of the time they do not get read, or even looked at. They are NOT in the marking criteria and therefore most markers (and that really does mean nearly all) don't look - markers don't have time to look at sections that will not contribute to the mark.I disagree, they can be really good if you refer to them intelligently and a lot of students do.
