REFERENCING


Referencing Style




APA 7th Edition.


Minimum References


There is no set number of references that must be used as a minimum for this


task, but as a rough guide only, if you have utilized less than 10-12 unique


quality peer-reviewed sources then you have not read widely enough.


All arguments must be supported using a variety of high-quality primary


evidence. Avoid using any one source repetitively. You can use references from


the prescribed reding list, but it may be useful to extend your reading beyond this


list as well.


Age of References


Most references for this task should be published within the last 5 years,


however the appropriate use of older evidence sources
e.g.seminaltheoreticalethicalwork" role="presentation" style="display: inline; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: lato, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); position: relative;">e.g.seminaltheoreticalethicalwork

is acceptable.


List Heading




“References” is centered, bold, on a new page
14pointCalibriorArial" role="presentation" style="display: inline; font-size: 16px; word-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: lato, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); position: relative;">14pointCalibriorArial

.


Alphabetical Order




References are arranged alphabetically by author family name


Hanging Indent




Second and subsequent lines of a reference have a hanging indent


DOI or URL




Presented as functional hyperlink


Spacing




Double spacing the entire reference list, both within and between entries




ADMINISTRATION

Late penalties will be applied from 02:01pm on the 12th October, 2022, incurring


5% penalty of the maximum marks available up to a maximum of 15% in total.


Assessment tasks that are submitted more than three calendar days after the

due or extended date will not be allocated a mark.




Example:


An assignment is submitted 12 hours late and is initially marked at 60 out of 100.
