INDIVIDUAL REFLECTION

APPENDIX C – Referencing your work:

You should note that from September 2013 the University will be using the APA 6th system of referencing.

(The following advice is quoted from the University Learning Centre APA 6th Guide entitled “Referencing using APA 6th ”). Full details may be obtained at :

http://hud.libguides.com/referencing

Referencing using APA 6th

When you have included information from published sources in your work, you

must acknowledge this information fully and accurately by:

Identifying your sources, in a brief format, in the body of your written work (referred to as an in-text citation)

Providing a detailed list of your sources in an alphabetical list at the end of your work (known as a reference list).

There are a number of officially accepted formats that can be used to reference your work. The University preferred referencing style is APA. However, some departments may prefer another style, and it is wise to check with your academic tutors whether your subject area uses another system.

Why reference?

To show that you have done some research and have found relevant information.

To support any claims you have made through reference to an authoritative author on the subject.

To enable readers of your work to trace the sources used and draw their own conclusions from the original works which you have cited.

To avoid being accused of plagiarism. This is using someone else’s work as your own without acknowledging it. If you do not acknowledge your source(s) you are guilty of academic misconduct. For more details, please refer to the Student Handbook of Regulations, Assessment Regulation 3 found on the University of Huddersfield website at:

http://www2.hud.ac.uk/regs.

When do you need to reference?

You should acknowledge your source with a reference whenever you include:

a theory, fact, argument or viewpoint attributable to a specific person.

statistics, examples or case studies.

illustrations or musical examples from another source.

direct quotations from another source.

APPENDIX 4 – PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
