(1) As with ALL your written assignments, you must use the Harvard system
of referencing to cite your sources in the body of your paper. Please pay
particular attention to the referencing guidelines on secondary
referencing.
(2) In all cases, in-text citations must match up with what appears in your
reference list. Every in-text citation should correspond to a reference on
the list at the end (and vice versa). An exception is when you cite a
secondary source that you read about in a primary one. In that case only
the primary source (the source you actually read) should appear in the
list of references. Make sure you use the ‘cited in’ expression in the text if
you use secondary referencing.
(3) You must include a copy of your assignment one tutor feedback as an
appendix after your report’s reference list.
