How To Reference Your Work

We expect students at all times to use their own words to answer tasks, however sometimes you need to add more to enhance your answers and justify your understanding of the task asked.

To help you understand what is required in terms of referencing your work we have prepared the following:

Previous Knowledge

Where students have used examples from their career or life experiences you then just need to reference as “previous work or life experience”.

Course Materials

Where you quote a specific piece of information from the course manual you should state the following:

Page number and Unit Number

Internet Link

Where you use an Internet Link to enhance your answer you need to state:

Internet web address

Date of use (this allows for any changes in the materials after that date being posted).

Textbook

Where you use a specific textbook for added research you need to state the following:

Textbook title

Textbook Author

Chapter and page number

Magazine or Newspaper

Where you use a magazine or newspaper to research a task please state the following:

Name of Publication or Newspaper

Date of Publication
