Assignment Case study

Correct referencing

You are required to use

• Harvard in-text citation using the correct format

• Harvard list of reference matching the in-text citation

You will find information about Harvard referencing style on the USQ website, and, should you require further details, there are various other sources on the internet that provide details on the Harvard referencing style.

The library also makes EndNote available to students and you are encouraged to use EndNote in this assignment. While it is not compulsory for this assignment to use EndNote, it will be compulsory for assignment. EndNote makes the whole referencing and in-text citing process a lot easier and you may wish to consider using it already for assignment.

Report Format

You are required to use report format as per USQ web site. The number of words of your report should be between 1,500 and 2,000 words for the body.

As a third year student, your aim is to be succinct and clear in your writing, which means less rather than more words.
