Study Skills #1

This week we looked at academic referencing. It all seems pretty straight forward and similar to the style of referencing i have used in A Levels. Figures (images) are references separately to the bibliography in a 'figure listing' at the beginning of the document. Long quotes are put on a separate line and indented (much like how I formatted the Exodus passage). Short quotes are inserted into a sentence and italicised. All of which still need a footnote. Sources in a bibliography are in alphabetical order with the author, date, title, publisher and place for books, and date accessed for websites. However, only 10% of sources can be internet based- if you have 10 books, you can only have 1 web source. Honest opinion, I really don't like this. Yes it shows you're well read, have done research and books are good sources, but so are internet sources! If a source goes on for two pages, you need to reference it as "p.p. 98-101". All of this and more can be found on the VLE/Moodle.
