Please note – if you are on a course validated by the University of Bedfordshire or the University of Northampton, your course manager will have decided what referencing scheme they want you to use in your assignments. It is essential that you follow the guidelines given by your course teachers regarding the correct referencing scheme for that unit. It is your responsibility to consult your course or unit handbook and check what scheme you should be using in your assignments. Failure to follow the correct guidelines could result in you losing marks for your assignment.
