Pathway 2 Information : citing references

Abstract

The citing and referencing module is part of a wider online tutorial designed to teach a range of information skills to undergraduate students.

The module aims to provide an introductory guide to why referencing and citing is important and how to reference particular types of material according to different referencing styles. This skill is required by students throughout their degree courses and backs up more traditional face-to-face teaching in this area. The module uses an interactive approach, using activities to help students fully understand the concepts of referencing.
