So, "one" and "One" would be counted separately, as well as "word." and "word" and "Word", as each one either has punctuation, or capitalization differences. Words are considered any number of letters or symbols not separated by a space, so even "zxcvb" would be considered a word even though it is not in a dictionary.
"5 pages of information" for one assignment??? Seriously? One page at most, should have been sufficient! Your instructor needs to take a course on assignment creation! I also disagree with the inclusion of punctuation in a "word", and possibly, punctuation as well. Good luck!
