Avoiding Plagiarism
          Your essay has to be your own work but you 
            can include quotes from existing materials.
          Any source you refer to or quote must be 
            correctly referenced. 
          Every time you look at a source make a note of 
            its details, and the date you looked at it.
          By doing this you know what you looked at 
            when, and you have a record of it for your 
            reference list and/or bibliography. 
          Your sources can then be easily found by 
            anyone who reads your work, so that if 
            necessary they can check them for evidence.
                                     
         How to use your sources
          All information which is not acknowledged as a 
           direct quote should be written in your own words. 
          Rewording or summarising information from a 
           source and not referencing it is plagiarism. 
          At the end of your essay write a reference list 
           containing any sources you have cited in your 
           text. 
          You  could write a bibliography instead of a 
           reference list, this will contain all the sources you 
           have looked at during your research, whether or 
           not you have actually made use of information 
           from them.
                                         
         Harvard Referencing
          For English you will be using the Harvard 
            referencing system.
          This is the most common form of 
            referencing used for humanities subjects.
          More information about the Harvard 
            System can be found at 
            http://libweb.anglia.ac.uk/referencing/har

          Citing sources in your 
          work
            Whenever you refer to information from a source or 
             use a direct quote you need to acknowledge this in 
             the body of your work.
            If you are quoting from a specific page or pages in a 
             source you need to include the page numbers as 
             well as give the author’s name and the date of 
             publication. 
            eg: Harris (2008, p.56) argued that “nursing staff…”
            If you are refering to a complete work you just need 
             the author and date of publication
            eg: In a recent study (Evans, 2008), qualifications of 
             school-leavers were analysed…
            These citations will then link to the full details of 
             the source, which will be listed in the reference list 
             or bibliography at the end of your work.
                                         
        Using quotations in your 
        text
         Short quotations –up to 2 or 3 lines 
          long, should be in quotation marks in 
          the body of your work.
         Longer quotations should be included as 
          a separate paragraph and indented 
          from the main text. For these you do not 
          need to use quotation marks. Just put 
          the citation details in brackets after the 
          quoted passage.
