They do for every paper I've ever written ... the title doesn't, the references don't, the appendices don't, almost everything else generally does.

 

But perhaps you should check with your prof. so you're not guessing?

Fig titles and stuff don't count, and I know of no situation where they would.

 

My supervisor wont know... The other marker probably will but will get suspicious if I ask...

 

Your dissertation has a word count?

 

Yeah, max of 10k...

 

It's an undergraduate masters dissertation....

You'll note I said "almost everything" and not "everything"... My papers don't have enough figures to care about the wordcounts, so I didn't bother to mention it.

Sorry I didn't mean to imply anything bad by that, my wording of sentences is a bit shot to pieces atm...

 

Writing in the third person is annoying. I've got about 750 words in fig titles! *sigh*
