Week 7, we are over half way.


Week Seven


Endnote

Endnote is a referencing database. It makes referencing manageable. Endnote is a program that stores and creates your references for you and can be used in M.S. Word. This program allows you to insert in-text and end-text references straight into your writing. Endnote can be downloaded from the ECU website by students or teachers.

Through all types of study you will need to search and then state where you got your information from, this is referencing. If you do not reference your source then you are plagiarizing someone else’s work. You always should have an in-text reference at the point of writing and then an end text reference on the last page of the writing. The end-text reference needs to be formatted correctly, in this unit we use APA style, and it must always be in alphabetical order.

Exercise Two; Endnote

Endnote is very confusing at first, and even the help section is confusing.

Once you understand the correct way it becomes a lot easier. I know I will use this program throughout my studies.



I know have three entries in Endnote.



Well thats it folks, read me next week.
