Understanding referencing can:

• help you find additional information for your assignments
• enable you to gain a wider knowledge of your assignment topic
• give credibility to your interpretations
• support your academic integrity

You must acknowledge any ideas or words from other authors that you have used in your own work. Including material from another writer as if it were your own will result in plagiarism and your academic integrity will be affected.
