Canterbury: Wednesday 20th August

Today we discussed the balance of your own ideas/other people's ideas in an essay and how to use other people's ideas appropriately with direct quoting/paraphrasing and summarising together with in-text referencing and bibliographies to avoid plagiarism.

We also discussed the reliability of sources, including the website domains :
ac.uk
edu
gov
org
com/co.uk

For homework, try to find 3 useful, reliable websites for the globalisation essay and post on your blog/bring to class tomorrow.
Also start exploring some of the suggested links on p21, eg www.johnpilger.com

Also aim to use Metranet in the next few days to find out more about your Undergraduate course (which are the modules you'll follow in your first semester, what are the readings lists, who is the course leader).
