Dear Colleagues
A referencing & writing symposium will be held at the University of Bradford on
Monday 8th June 2009. The event is jointly organised by the 'LearnHigher' and
'Write Now' CETLs; you are invited to attend.
Details and an online booking form can be found at
http://www.brad.ac.uk/lss/tqeg/conferences/referencingandwriting/index.html
One of the workshops at the symposium is on the difficulties students experience
with referencing - which can lead them to stray into plagiarism territory. In
order to gather a wide range of student perspectives, the Referencing Learning
Area of the LearnHigher CETL has introduced a student 'Have Your Say' feature.
To encourage students to 'have their say', a fortnightly random draw for a £25
book token is offered until the 27th March.
There is also an essay writing competition with the title: 'What's the point of
referencing?'. There are two cash prizes of £300 to be won at each of the
following levels: Undergraduate and Postgraduate. Closing date 31st March
2009.
For more details of the 'Have Your Say & essay writing competition, go to
http://www.learnhigher.ac.uk/ and then click onto the Referencing Learning
Area.
I would be very grateful if you would mention these two features of the
Referencing Learning Area of the LearnHigher site to your students - and look
forward to seeing you at the symposium.
regards
Colin Neville
