COP - Academic Writing - Referencing and Formatting - 07/11/19

Some key points from the workshop today:

• Label images with Figure # and refer to them in text
• Be selective with sources, make sure you know them in depth and choose quality over quantity
• When referencing Youtube videos, use the vlog format
• Bibliography should be on a separate page and in alphabetical order
• To help with phrasing, use Academic Phrasebank
• Don't use words you don't understand, use The Free Dictionary for unknown words.
• For any website, always use 'available at:' and then when it was accessed on

This workshop was very useful, and it showed me that referencing is fine as long as you follow the guide, especially paying attention to the punctuation.
