Chapter 10 Referencing

10.1 Overview

Information in course docs shows that students need to reference appropriately, using APA formatting guidelines. Referencing tasks (and associated skills) often appear to be needed in conjunction with other writing tasks.

10.1.1 Credit sources 17/30

Students have to credit sources in writing and in other texts. Course instructors often provide reference entries in their PPT slides for information covered during lectures. The need to credit sources also appears in many syllabi.

MATH 131

Be sure to do good, honest work, credit your sources and reference
accordingly.

10.1.2 Use APA formatting guidelines 8/30

Several course documents make explicit mention of the need to follow APA formatting guidelines.

SSCI 412

As far as possible, follow the most current APA Style Manual when submitting
your work.

10.1.3 Be familiar with TurnItIn 5/30

Several course docs talk about using TurnItIn for submitting written work or some kind of plagiarism-detection software (probably TurnItIn).

NUTR 301

Your work may be subject to submission to plagiarism detection software,
submission to this system means that your work automatically becomes part of
that database and can be compared with the work of your classmates.

In some courses, students must find credible or reliable sources for work.

PCLN 302
