Unfortunately each one counts for about 40% of each module I'm doing. And it's not as if I can afford to miss them (automatic fail, even if it's a matter of minutes)

Stressing the 'dead' part of deadlines, I take it..

Quite. And the "limit" part of word-limit, Automatic 10% reduction in mark if you go over.
Strict lecturers when it comes to coursework, but two of the most interesting we have.

I carefully exceeded my word limit by 10% on the last essay I wrote when the previous one was apparently "10% too short" despite being exactly 1500 words- the supposed limit...

I do wish lecturers would give a range for these things to be within, it can be demoralising if there is a 2000 word limit and you have covered all the points you think relevant in 1500

On my ucas form my senior tutor said that one of my good qualities was being concise. Would that my tutor could read that, and adjust accordingly.

Economy of language is a trait that should be encouraged.

But one doesn't want to be too conscise, and therefore be misleading...

That should always be a distinct consideration
