You must list all of the reference materials (books, articles,
catalogs, web sites) that you use when preparing assignments for this
class. Citations give credit to the authors whose work you are using
and allow the
reader to find more information on the subject. Proper citing ensures
that
you are not accused of plagiarism. When you use references, you should
not
copy directly out of the material, unless you are using quotation
marks.
You should understand the information in the reference, and then write
your
assignments in your own words. When citing reference material that you use in this course, cite
it correctly and completely. This helps clearly communicate what reference
you have used, in case someone wants to read the original source. If you forget
something, such as the date, the reader might select the wrong edition of
a book, and get different information than you found.
It helps us in grading if everyone uses the same format. In this class, use
the following formats for citing all references. These are the formats used
in such journals as HortScience.
