Introduction
The Harvard system of referencing is very commonly used by students in their academic papers and assigments . This guide will show you how to insert references in the text of your assignment and also how to compile a reference list in a bibliography . It is by no means an exhaustive list of all referencing conventions .
WHat Contribute Plagiarism ?
It is very important that you acknowledge in your assigment where you have used someone else's ideas or words . Failure to do so may result in cheating by claiming someone else's work as your own . We call this plagiarism and it is a serious offence . You may obtain a zero grade for that assigment or even be called up to face disciplinary actions .
Please note that plagiarism is not just a direct copy of your friend's or other people's work . plagiarism also occurs when you re-word or paraphrase someone else's ideas without proper acknowledgement by giving credit to the original source .
