Referencing

This was a very important lecture for us although we've listened to this topic from the time we came to APIIT. It's all because 15% of our assignment marks are based on proper referencing skills. So in order to be on the safe side without being caught for plagiarism and to score marks it's always good to think twice about referencing because no one wants to get a zero after working so hard to finish off an assignment. The type of referencing we should use is Harward referencing style.
According to what Dr. Mahesha taught us, there are 6 golden rules in applying Harward referencing to our document.

But in Mr. Rehan's method everything about Harward referencing is brought down to 10 rules which looked hard to understand the beginning but was quite easy at the end.

1. When author's name is naturally in the sentence
        According to Weber (2000), ......
   
2. When name and year does not appear in the sentence
        "Global warming is going high" (Edward, 2009)
   
3. If the same author had published many documents in the same year you add lower case letters to each year
        Jonson (1995a)....
   
4. When there are two authors for the document
        Peter and Cornford (1998)....
   
5. When there are more than one author for the document (et al)
        (William et al, 1990)
   
6. If the work is anonymous (Anon)
        (Anon, 2000)
   
7. Newspaper article with no author
        (The daily mirror, 2012)
   
8. When a source which was quoted in another source is referred
        Smith (1960 cited Jones 1994)
   
9. Referring to a contributor in a source
        (Brad, 2001)
   
10. When referring to a person who is quoted in someone else's work mention the source name and the author too
         Edward Cullen said ................. (Taylor, 2010)
    
    So this lesson was kind of boring because we've listened to it alot but important since no matter how many times we learn but still we do mistakes.
