The Module TitleReferencing & ResearchingIt is important to develop skills in researching and referencing. Referencing is important because it provides pointers to where you have developed your arguments from. Referencing also allows the person reading your work to go back to the material you read and read how that argument was originally developed. A brief guide to referencing is provided at the back of the module guide. Further information and a more detailed discussion on how to reference can be found on the LITS website. This university has a preference for using the Harvard System when referencing the work of others in assignments and dissertations. Not referencing correctly may result in you gaining a lower mark. Not referencing will result in lower marks. See Appendix 1 for the referencing guide.
