ZacN

The document discusses how to properly reference sources used in an assignment. It states that any information from sources should be attributed, either through direct quotes with citations or by paraphrasing. A reference list including full details of each source should be included at the end. Quotes should make up no more than 20% of the assignment and each must include the author's name, date and page number in parentheses after.
