Our online course (approx. 30min) provides a simple introduction to referencing and plagiarism using the Harvard system of referencing. If you are new to referencing this is the ideal place to start. We provide introductory guidance on what referencing is, why you need to reference, and how to correctly reference some of the most common sources in your assignments.
The course is divided into 7 sections. Sections have short activities that you can undertake to test your own understanding of the topics you have read about.

This is a comprehensive guide to referencing and plagiarism. Cite Them Right provides full guidance on how to correctly reference all sources in your assignments, with guidance available on Harvard and numerous other styles of referencing.
