Referencing and avoiding plagiarism

Support your arguments!
At university, we use research based evidence to support our arguments.
Make sure your argument (something you have decided from what you have read and thought about) is supported by evidence, most of which will come from your reading. Make sure you put in references to show the the source of the evidence. The resources below will show you how.
