(Supplied by Academic Integrity Coordinator)
Correct referencing is an academic skill that you will be assessed on. Correct referencing demonstrates that you have read appropriately on the subject and shows that you are acknowledging the sources you have used (that you are not trying to cheat) and provide information on useful sources of information to your reader. Doing it correctly demonstrates professionalism, doing it incorrectly will lead to reduced marks, possibly to disciplinary action which includes the possibility of having your studies terminated.
You are required to upload your coursework to the VLE Moodle site for BAF-6-
PFI using the Turnitin facility for Personal Finance 21/22 S2.
Use this site for checking your work for matching text. This will reveal where you have not fully referenced. You will need to reference correctly or remove the matching text from your final submission. The matching source given by the 6 check may not be the one that you used. Make sure you use the Library Help sheets to guide you on correct referencing (style: Harvard).
You need to look at all individual matches of 2% and above. Where there is such material that is matching you must ensure it is referenced or remove it from your work.
