a short quiz on Referencing (available on Canvas prior to Week 3), you

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.

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. See
