Question 1
Total Marks [12]
"I Didn't Reference the Source Because ..."
Below are six statements that might be made by students for not referencing a particular source in
an assignment. They all start with "I didn't reference the source because ..."
Imagine you were a lecturer what would you say in response to these statements? Six likely lecturer
responses are shown. Match the likely response to the statement. Write the most likely response
number in the right hand column below.
",:•,
"
Statements
- C
a. I didn't reference the source in the text of the assignment because I put the source in
the bibliography.
b. I didn't reference the source because I found this theory on a Wiki Internet site;
anyone can contribute to these, and no particular author is named.
c. I didn't reference the source because the statistics were taken from a government
website, which are there for the whole world to see and use.
d. I didn't reference the source because it just gave me ideas to use in my assignment; I
changed most of words in the article to my own.
e. I didn't reference the source of the definition because it was from a tutor handout;
everyone in class was given a copy.
f. I didn't reference the source because no author or writer's name was shown on the
website.
Response
Number:
Responses
Match each statement shown above with the appropriate lecturer response from the list below.
1. If no named author or writer is shown, you should cite and reference the name of the
originator of the source, which can be a name of an organization, or other source.
2. Readers need to match in-text citations with the full details of sources in a list of references.
This enables readers to find and use the sources for themselves, if required.
3. The source of all data like this must be fully referenced. Readers may, for example, want to
learn or examine the methodology for the research and data collection.
4. It is advisable, wherever possible, to use primary sources in an assignment, rather than
secondary sources. A primary source, in this example, would be the originator of the theory.
Secondary sources may not always be reliable. However, if you do use a secondary source, it
needs to be properly referenced.
5. Any source that has played a significant contribution to your assignment must be fully
referenced. By doing this you acknowledge the part another person has played in the
development of your own ideas.
6. This came from work produced by someone else and not by you. It also contributes to the
reader's understanding of terms you have used in your assignment and so needs to be
properly referenced.
