TAY 605 - Organising, Managing, and Citing Your Sources

Course Description

Description

Supporting what you claim in your research with reliable sources is a fundamental value of good research. Proper citing and referencing external sources enable readers to explore other related work while also connecting your research to the greater literature landscape.
