Referencing


 * __ How You Do It __**
 * ** In your word doc click on the ‘reference’ tab at the top of the page **
 * ** Click on ‘Insert Footnote’ **
 * ** You will immediately be taken to the bottom of the page and a very small number will appear in the text of your work. It will look like this[1] On a web page and much smaller on a word doc. **
 * ** You will then include all the information needed for the reader to find the source that you got your information from (look at the section below on ‘what to include in a footnote’). **
 * __ Why You Do It __**
 * “Referencing is a system that allows you to acknowledge the work of others in your writing. Whenever you use ANY words, ideas or information from ANY source in your assignments, you must reference those sources. This means that if you use the exact words of an author, or if you paraphrase their words you must provide a reference. ****Not referencing your sources means you may be charged with plagiarism and your work could be failed. ****”[2] **
 * __ When You Do It __**
 * **Whenever you include the exact words of another person **
 * **Whenever you paraphrase the words of another (you don’t say it word for word but you include the main ideas or thoughts) **

**From a book:** **From a website:**

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">**You must always say where 'You' found the information.
