I thought I understood Harvard referencing but the exercise left me unsure. I'll follow up elsewhwere.
Some good tips on how to deal with plagiarism in this module.
Important for students to do or they could risk failing.
This needs to be developed more, an option to practice and learn would be helpful.
Stupid little box for input of required text
Its could be clearer on the information that needs to be looked for to complete the assigned task.
Good to have a quick refresh of simple and Harvard referencing.
Referencing styles can differ, and I've seen varying of Harvard in use listed as Harvard.
A very important subject especially for students going to HE but the assessment question on this module is very temperamental
Hmm.
This was not an accurate Harvard referencing example. There is no explanation of how you can reference something as "the".
Didn't help with showing learners how to reference, just tested my own ability - not sure of the point of that?
