  • Recognise the difference between citations and references and their importance in academic writing
  • Apply a citation style to an information source​

We will cover the different ways that plagiarism can occur, and how it can best be avoided. There will also be demonstrations of how to acknowledge sources within academic writing, and how to create full references for sources, as well as hands-on activities to help you practise relevant skills.
