References and Bibliographies

This blog provides a guide to help you complete unit 1. You should use the guidelines to help you structure your essay. This blog includes various resources and links to a variety of websites.

Students must ensure they reference, use quotes and create a bibliography using the guidelines below.

Referencing

Students must not copy from websites under any circumstances. Copying other peoples work is plagiarism and any examples of plagiarism found in student essays, will result in an unclassified grade.

Students must ensure that they create their own work using their own research. If a student is using information that they have found on a specific website they must reference that website. (This does not mean students can copy and paste and then reference the work.)

Students should reference their work by using footnotes. Footnotes can be inserted by clicking on insert and then footnotes (mac)
Insert - reference - footnotes (pc)


Quotes

You must leave a line before and after your quote and ensure that the quote is in bold.
After your quote you should put the author and the website in brackets;

'Aston Villa are the by far the most sophisticated football team in the premiership' (Martin O'Neal, www.avfc.co.uk)

Bibliography

You should list all the websites and books you have used in alphabetical order at the end of your essay.
