Referencing

You must reference using a recognised academic referencing style.

Whilst we do not specify the precise style that you use, we would prefer it to be a
style that uses page numbers in in-text references e.g. Harvard. (Smith 2006, p.20)

However, we do understand that students may have become familiar with a particular
recognised style and so you can use the style you are familiar with.

Ensure that you have a bibliography or reference list at the end of the paper
which includes all works cited in the paper. Please make sure that this conforms to
the formatting standards of the referencing system you use i.e. For example, if you
use Harvard style in-text references, then you should format your bibliography
according to the Harvard system guidelines.

Reports should have a title page which includes:

Students name
Student number
The unit code & name (e.g. MS1313 Fundamentals of Market Research)
Assessment Item (e.g. Report)
Due date
Lecturers name
Word count
