HIGHLIGHTS OF THE TOPIC
• REFERENCING AND NOTE-TAKING
WHAT IS REFERENCING?
Referencing is used to tell the reader where ideas from other sources
have been used in an assignment. There are many reasons why it is
important to reference sources correctly

It shows the tender that you can find and use sources to create a solid
argument
It properly credits the originators of ideas, theories, and research
findings
• It shows the reader how your argument relates to the big picture
WHAT DO WE MEAN BY REFERENCING?
When we use specific words or even just an idea
from another author in our work, this needs to be
formally acknowledged, this acknowledge is called
citing (now spelling) or referencing.
TAKING NOTES
Note-taking (sometimes written as note taking or note taking) is the
practice of recording information from different sources and
platforms. By taking notes, the writer records the essence of the
information, freeing their mind from laving to recall everything
Despite the volume of sources to read, it is essential to take down
notes from the materials you think will be useful in the crafting of
your academic paper.
NOTE TAKING SKILLS
Careless note-taking is one of the major factors in
unintentional plagiarism. It is very easy to cut and
paste information, and lose track of the sources you
used or mix what you burrowed with your own
notes.
