Silly me forgot to drop down to the baseroom and check my pigeon hole when handing in my disertation So just wondering what time are we in on mon for our brief? Thanks JAG

Hey you lot - best of luck for the final push; completing a dissertation is a real achievement and something of which to be genuinely proud. A big thank you to Liam for playing mother hen re. Harvard Referencing etc. Be sure to buy the man with the big hair and floral shirt a drink! Well done 'Class of 2010' - now go hand it and celebrate with vigour! I'd like to see a celebratory photo or two on this blog sometime soon...

STAPLES binds and prints, there is also a shop along the same road to staples called, 'The Printers' they also print and bind. Staples opens from 8am so a hint to anyone who has not yet bound i would recommend going there and NOT to uni as its probably going to busy. I got mine done today and she said that they had been busy but if your desperate and get there for 8am it should take only ten minutes or so... GOOD LUCK everyone! I cant wait to never have to look at it again :)

The dissertation needs a plagiarism form with it. It can be downloaded as a ready to print PDF from myUCA, under the tab my course > my course and units (on the right) > dissertation (30 Credits) > Unit information > MM, CG ARTS, DBM ONLY - Dissertation (30 credits) > Plagiarism Disclaimer form. Also if you havn't, it would be worth running your work through TurnItIn; just in case.

Ive finished it all but the cover page... At the moment is the title of my dissertation, my name, course and date. I remember Chris saying something about other details that i need to have on it but i cant remember. Can anyone else? Do i need to put our lecturers name on it i.e Chris Hunt, and a unit title and number? If so does anyone know our unit title and number? I dont want to end up not having the first right sheet as its not a good start really!! If anyone knows, please post, thank you :)

Seems to be a few questions about it, so I'll paraphrase what is on the UCA website (here) The university wants Harvard referencing, which is where directly after the quotation, the surname of the author, the year of the publication, and the page number are written in brackets. For example: Dennis McNally is quoted as saying ‘Without him, there simply wouldn’t have been enough acid for the psychedelic scene of the Bay Area in the sixties to have ignited’. (Medeiros, 2005, 309) If the author is mentioned directly before a quote, you may put the year and page number in brackets after his name: Chris Grunenberg (2005a,7) describes psychedelic style as ‘the result of a highly productive interaction between art, technology, politics, drug culture, music and many other influences, creating an extraordinary aesthetic exemplifying the spirit of liberation and freedom.’ These are then reffered to the bibliography. The bibliography should be formatted alphabetically. Click here for a full ex...

our references... have to be within the text? like on the link u gave us just now. mine are below the bulk of the text... as footers. i just want to clarify im doin it right. gives me time to correct it. oh yea and my question that didnt get answered, can i use the word 'Ibid' so i dont have to quote the same thing over and over, or isnt it the harvard way? i guess if i have to put the references within the text it wont matter :D rather bug you brainless, than end up getting myself into a muddle. a wrong failed muddle at that. thank you
