These conventions apply to information taken from internet sources, as well as books, journals and lectures. If you are unsure of the way to reference properly, seek advice from a member of staff before you submit the assessment (also see instructions above).

•have you provided full details of the source of the quotation, according to the referencing convention used in the Course?
•have you acknowledged the source of ideas not your own, even if you are not quoting directly from the source?
•have you avoided close paraphrase from sources? (Check that you are not presenting other people’s words or phrasing as if they are your own.)
