When you say that you had a chat with them, it makes you sound badass.

Will do. Wish you could've mentioned Starbucks and see the reaction from fellow Usyders...

He asked stuff about whether I thought the way I got up was democratic, whether I think the Union is representative of its members, what my reasons were for proposing a regulational amendment re: VSU at the last board meeting and how I might be different to Dave in my style as a director.

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread

hey guyyys,
if i'm doing an essay outline (which i am doing) and in the outlines, I need to sort of reference/mention my sources, how do I do that with an e-journal that has four authors?

that said, i only have like 6/10 sources for this outline. sigh.

thanks!

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread

Does the faculty have a guideline, Jayadore?

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread

They gave us an outline and told us to use MLA?
Well my tutor strongly emphasised it so I'm going with MLA.

What faculty is it?
Some have a student outline guide thing on their faculty website which might halp!
I'm fucking terrible at footnoting and referencing etc, even though i spend hours trying to follow the guides they always find something wrong.

That MIGHT help. I don't know i didn't look around.
Alternatively i googled the MLA referencing system and the first page that came up had a way to reference books with 4 authors but i dont know how reliable it is.

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread

For the ENGL1000 essay task, which is the one I suspect you're doing, we were told we could use MLA, Chicago or APA. I just emailed my tutor to ask if we were allowed to use Harvard, which is a slight variation upon the APA/Chicago styles. So yeah, don't feel restricted to the crappy MLA system.

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread

I'm going to kill the english faculty. And I use to love english.

Hey Neb, did you get that essay outline in your tut class for english task?
Cos I'm confused with how the outline sometimes references with the last name and year of publication and other times the author's full name? Is there any distinction or they just did that to mess with first years?

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread

I did but I don't think I kept it.

The department of English wouldn't be so bad if they showed some damn consistency with their preferred style but they seem to be all over the place.
