| Mastering the NTI Referencing Style |
Monday 1 September, 2pm (AEST) |
Workshop may run up to 1.5 hours. This workshop consists of activities designed to teach you how to format standard and non-standard references at NTI. Non-standard references include canonical sources and sources whose authors have names with non-English religious titles. You are also encouraged to bring your own referencing attempts for sources used in your assessments so that these can be discussed (and potentially refined) as a group. The aim of this workshop is to equip you with the skills to use the NTI Harvard Referencing Guide confidently for sources that you will encounter throughout your studies.
