Document Preview: HOW TO REFERENCE FOR THE MID SEMESTER ASSIGNMENT
REFERENCING
For the purposes of referencing your Mid Semester Assignment for this subject, I require you to adopt the following guide.

This is an alphabetical list of all of the cases, texts, journals articles, internet research, etc, which you have used in preparing your answer to the second assessment.

Eg. Burmester, Henry, ‘The Australian States and Participation in the Foreign Policy Process’ XXXXXXXXXXFederal Law Review 257
(1978) is the year of the Journal; 9 is the volume; 257 is the page on which the article begins. Usually Journals will indicate the proper manner of citation. This is an example.
