PART A: REFERENCING AND ITS IMPORTANCE
Referencing, or citing, means acknowledging the sources of information and ideas you have
used in an assignment (e.g. essay or report). This is a standard practice at university. It means
that whenever you write an assignment that requires you to find and use information from
other sources, you are expected to reference these resources in your writing. Sources could
include books, journal or newspaper articles, items from the internet, pictures or diagrams
