Aim

This workshop is applicable to students following any referencing style. While our online resources provide guidance on referencing correctly and appropriately, this workshop focuses on referencing effectively. It introduces different techniques for referring to sources in your work and explores how these can help you demonstrate your knowledge, understanding and critical thinking skills. Opportunities to practise and ask questions will also be included.  

By the end of this session you will:

1. Understand the importance of referencing in demonstrating your knowledge, understanding and critical thinking skills.

2. Use quoting, paraphrasing and summarising to incorporate sources effectively into your own writing.

3. Choose words and phrases that demonstrate a critical approach to sources.

Please note: This workshop uses Harvard style examples but is applicable to students following any referencing style.
