Referencing

[Wenchette]

Hi I need to reference my work I have used 2 handbooks to help me but I've also received help from CYP 3.1 units on here I haven't copied but have read through & put my answers in my own words do I need to put down that I have looked at this website & if so how would I do this also do I just need to do it at the end of my work or next to the bits I have looked at for help I'm a bit confused thank you

if you quote you put it in the body of the text "blah blah blah " said Tutu ( 2013) if you paraphrase i.e. write it in your own words yo put it at the end of the part you have used your own words(tutu 2013)
Personally if my students use this site and reference it i give them the work back and tell them to find a proper source. but if you have a nicer tutor then at the end of the paragraph you have written then put ( www.silkysteps etc.)

Really why would you do that is this not a good site to be learning from? It is not anybody's work I have used just ideas from the learning outcomes that have helped me. Has anybody else used this site to help them & referenced it?

[tutu]

yes all the time i have chucked off 2 students for plagiarising from here over the last 2 years and people cut and paste all the time. In my view and the view of many tutors if you can't research and write it yourself should you really be moulding young minds? sensible questions yes but so many just cut and paste it is obscene. Our essay scanning programme brings us here almost weekly.
