This week we focused on academic writing and referencing conventions for thesis research. The sessions covered the requirements of Harvard referencing, the importance of using peer-reviewed academic sources, and the correct methods for citing books, journal articles, films, images, and other research materials.
During the week, I gained a better understanding of academic writing standards and the importance of maintaining accurate and consistent referencing throughout a research project. I also reviewed the requirements for the thesis proposal submission and reflected on how these guidelines could be applied to my own research. This helped me prepare for the next stage of writing and ensure that my work follows appropriate academic conventions.
