Reference List

Referencing in Assignments

If you use ideas and information from books, websites, magazines, etc., you must acknowledge the source by referencing it.

  • Example: The ways in which individuals learn differ, meaning that teachers need to plan lessons to meet these needs (Gravells, 2014).

Sometimes you may want to quote direct from a book or website, i.e. word for word. You must use quotation marks to show this.

  • Example: 'Most people learn in different ways, known as learning preferences...' (Gravells, 2014, p. 38).
