Referencing
Acknowledging your sources in an appropriate manner is an essential part of academic writing, and the penalties for getting this wrong can be serious - not only reduced marks, but the risk of being suspected of plagiarism. You may not have had to do references before at all; even if you have, it's possible that the expectations at university level are different or more stringent. Test your knowledge of how and when to reference with the following exercises.
