I have read the comments made by Sara on your dissertation texts. There is a recurring theme and that is some of you are not referencing your sources enough or well enough. You grades will go down if you do not acknowledge ALL your sources of information and in the TEXT! not just as a bibliography....

Please read below carefully it comes from:
http://dd1112.wordpress.com/writing/referencing/
When you use the quotation or idea , you must put its source in brackets immediately following the quote or your statement. You may also wish to add a footnote (at the bottom of the page) giving further information about the quote or idea, but not giving the full reference. This should be at the end of the dissertation.
As well as this, you must provide a bibliography at the end of your work. A bibliography is a list of books you have consulted to do the essay. You will give the author, date of publication, book title and the publisher, along with the place of publication. Details of how to do this follow. We use the Harvard System of Referencing. This uses brackets within the text of the essay to give the source of borrowed information.
