Reading and referencing

  • Our Study Skills team have developed this 'Reading for Assignment Success' skills tutorial to teach you some strategies that will help you decide what to read and how to read as a University student.
  • We subscribe to an online guide called Cite Them Right, which teaches you how to reference and why it is important. This short tutorial (created by the authors) explores the principles behind referencing and how to acknowledge the information sources that you use. It is made up of 11 short, self-contained topics, which you can explore and revisit at any time. Please note this is initial, entry-level referencing help. For more about referencing, you may want to book an appointment with one of our Study Skills team.
