• Full referencing of all sources including page numbers in in-text referencing is essential.
For example: (Gitman, 2010:15) in-text reference, and then in your reference list:
Gitman, L.J. (2010) Principles of Managerial Finance. Pearson Education: Cape Town.
• Extensive and credible academic references are required to demonstrate that you have
researched the topics fully and that you can substantiate your arguments critically.
• Assignments are submitted through Turnitin (plagiarism software). Ensure that all sources are
adequately paraphrased and reference. Please do not copy directly from a source unless
absolutely necessary, and then remember to put this in inverted commas and include an in-text
reference. Paraphrase all the reference comments that you use and include the appropriate
reference and page numbers. Please ensure that your similarity report in Turnitin does not
exceed 20% (refer to Assignment Submission Guide).
• Please respect the introduction, body, and conclusion format for answering questions.
• The assignment must be typed – size 11 font Arial, single spacing.
• The assignment must be in a format compatible with Microsoft Word 2007. (No PDF documents
allowed).
• Depending on your qualification and or year of study, your assignment may have a word limit.
*For question and answer format assignments word count does not apply but student must
still stay within the permitted page range to ensure that assignments are not too long. Markers
will ignore all content beyond the specified page range.
