Referencing*
Adherence to APA
7th edition
referencing style.
5%

Through a short quiz on Referencing (available on Canvas prior to Week 3), you will be provided 5 marks for referencing if you receive all correct answers for the quiz. You wlll be allowed
multiple attempts for the quiz. The 5 marks will count towards all your assignments – that is, you will be given 5 marks for referencing in Assignment 1, Assignment 2, Assignment 3A and
Assignment 3B. You are allowed a maximum of one error in each of the assignment to keep the 5 marks. More than one error and your mark reverts to zero for Referencing for that
assignment. That is, say for Assignment 1, if you make more than 1 error in in‐text citations or end of document references, your mark will revert to zero for referencing (out of 5) for
Assignment 1.
