GENERAL NOTES FOR ASSIGNMENTS
Assignments should usually incorporate a formal introduction, main points and conclusion, and will
be fully referenced including a reference list.
The work must be fully referenced with in-text citations and a reference list at the end. We strongly
recommend you to refer to the Academic Learning Skills materials available in the Moodle. For
details please click the link http://moodle.kent.edu.au/kentmoodle/course/view.php?id=5 and
download the file “Harvard Referencing Workbook”. Appropriate academic writing and referencing
are inevitable academic skills that you must develop and demonstrate.
We recommend a minimum of FIVE references, unless instructed differently by your lecturer. Unless
specifically instructed otherwise by your lecturer, any paper with less than FIVE references may be
failed. Work that includes sources that are not properly referenced according to the “Harvard
Referencing Workbook” will be penalised.
Marks will be deducted for failure to adhere to the word count – as a general rule you may go over
or under by 10% than the stated length.
GENERAL NOTES FOR REFERENCING
High quality work must be fully referenced with in-text citations and a reference list at the end. We
recommend you work with your Academic Learning Support (ALS) site
(http://moodle.kent.edu.au/kentmoodle/course/view.php?id=5) available in Moodle to ensure that
you reference correctly.
References are assessed for their quality. You should draw on quality academic sources, such as
books, chapters from edited books, journals etc. Your textbook can be used as a reference, but not
the lecturer notes. We want to see evidence that you are capable of conducting your own research.
Also, in order to help markers determine students’ understanding of the work they cite, all in-text
references (not just direct quotes) must include the specific page number/s if shown in the original.
Before preparing your assignment or own contribution, please review this ‘YouTube’ video by

PLAGIARISM: HOW TO AVOID IT
You can search for peer-reviewed journal articles, which you can find in the online journal databases
and which can be accessed from the library homepage. Wikipedia, online dictionaries and online
encyclopaedias are acceptable as a starting point to gain knowledge about a topic, but should not be
overused – these should constitute no more than 10% of your total list of references/sources.
Additional information and literature can be used where these are produced by legitimate sources,
such as government departments, research institutes such as the NHMRC, or international
organisations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO). Legitimate organisations and
government departments produce peer reviewed reports and articles and are therefore very useful
and mostly very current. The content of the following link explains why it is not acceptable to use
non-peer reviewed websites: Why can’t I just Google? (thanks to La Trobe University for this video).
