Length
There is no 'official' minium length for assignments. However, I would suggest that around 250 - 300 words is usually quite sufficient. This will cover around one side of A4 paper if you follow my presentation guidlines below.
You should concentrate on accuracy - i.e. correct grammar and use of vocabulary - not length.
A short assignment with few errors will get a higher mark than a long one with many errors.
Please do not write very long assignments (more than 500 words). You will not get a higher mark for writing more.
