Section A Section A of this assignment focuses on
referencing. Many of you struggle with referencing in your
written assignments and often obtain a mark of less than
50%, even though you would have passed if you had
referenced correctly. The purpose of this section is to help
you acquire the skill of referencing. You will then be in a
better position to reference correctly in your written
assignments and portfolio. 1. Explain the importance of
referencing both in-text and at the end of an assignment.

Referencing is crucial in academic writing for several reasons:
1. Credibility and Academic Integrity: Referencing demonstrates that you have conducted
thorough research and are informed by the work of established experts. It lends
credibility to your writing and helps to avoid plagiarism by giving proper credit to the
original authors of the ideas and information you have used. This maintains academic
integrity.
2. Supporting Evidence: Proper referencing allows you to back up your arguments and
claims with evidence. It shows that your work is grounded in established research, which
strengthens your argument and makes your conclusions more reliable.
3. Enabling Further Research: References provide a trail for readers to follow if they wish
to verify your sources or explore them further. This is beneficial for anyone wanting to
delve deeper into the topic, as it provides a roadmap to the resources you consulted.
Proper referencing involves two main parts:
In-text citations: These are brief citations within your text that point to the full
references at the end of your document. They allow readers to see which sources you are
referring to at a glance.
Reference list or bibliography: This is a comprehensive list of all sources cited in your
text, provided at the end of your assignment. It includes full publication details, allowing
readers to locate the original sources easily.
