Assignment Case study
Correct referencing
You are required to use
• Harvard in-text citation using the correct format
• Harvard list of reference matching the in-text citation
You will find information about Harvard referencing style on the USQ website, and, should you require further details, there are various other sources on the internet that provide details on the Harvard referencing style.
The library also makes EndNote available to students and you are encouraged to use EndNote in this assignment. While it is not compulsory for this assignment to use EndNote, it will be compulsory for assignment. EndNote makes the whole referencing and in-text citing process a lot easier and you may wish to consider using it already for assignment.
