ITC105 Referencing Style Exercise : Spot the Mistakes Tutorial
In text citation mistakes
The authors feeling about the issue of non‐vaccination of childr
en in New South Wales was worrying
as this could impact the health of others (Dalton & Allan, 2013)
Irwin (2010) suggests that the absence of students at classes is
worrying.
(Matthushek, 2012) noted that when the births of children are se
parated by 5 or more years, the
effects of birth order are changed. The pattern would differ fro
m that of a sibling in a four‐child
family if the children were spaced fewer than 3 years apart (for
example, if the children were 10, 8, 5
and 3 years old); this second child would exhibit the characteris
tics typical of second‐middle child.
Research has shown that students who leave work to the last mi
nute seldom complete their work
with satisfaction (Brown, 2010)
Roberts, Yang, and Heckenberg (2009) recorded results when un
iversity work is handed up on time,
students will perform better in final examinations (as cited in M
ackenzie & Caruso, 2011).
Direct Quotation (>40 words)
Student 1
The position of higher education today can be best summarised
as the following: “Money, rather
than means, is becoming the chief end of higher education. The
rationale to pursue and practice
higher education is now routinely predicated not on learning but
on money. With growing
frequency, the ends are not cultural values or critical thinking, e
thical convictions or intellectual
skills. When those goals are pursued, it is often not because the
y offer multiple uses and relevance
but because they might be converted into cash.” (Engell & Dang
erfield, 2007)
