Avoid excessive use of web sites as references – There are many web sites
online, some of which offer quality information, others do not. Your reading nd
research for ideas to include in your assignments should focus on recognised
academic or professional literature. Regarding the use of Wikipedia,
Wikipedia is useful for finding simple definitions and may be useful for
directing you to relevant references and sources. However, as Wikipedia can
be updated by anyone, there is some question about its credibility. It should
not be used in an academic essay.
Do not use the topic handouts as references – The topic handouts are
provided as a general resource to assist students during presentations. This
material will not be accepted as a reference in essays. For example, a
reference such as “Irizarry (2013)) Power Point from Interventions with
Children and Young People” is not an acceptable citation. You must cite the
original source of any referenced ideas in your essays. Any references
should refer to the original work. Use of the handouts as a reference will result
in a loss of marks.Please write it in Correspondent to Australia
