I often asked this question myself this question. Yes,
because as a student, I am the responsible person to prepare my notes, my assignments for my upcoming semester.
Whatever I did that is very normal. We prepare our assignment notes after
reading all scholarly articles, by understanding their arguments, relate it to
our class notes and then write down the entire paper by our own analysis. It is
a common task for all students. At last of my paper, I was supposed to add some
referencing and insert citations in my assignment. Then why I do that?? Though I
have borrowed information from other research papers, but my analysis is my
own. I have made my assignment with full of my efficiency. Then why we use referencing?
I think many of you have this same curiosity. Sometime, this
also can be asked by someone that what is the proof that I have borrowed all the
thoughts of those authors mentioned in my assignment referencing? We frequently
faced this question in our examination hall. Instructor often asked us. Are you
Remember?? So let me answer you all these queries by three basic answers.
1. Referencing is
the proof of your assignment authenticity. Guess, your friend has recommended
you in his company. In interview session, interviewer will have some gentleness
to you as your friend referred you. As this reference give you benefit in your
interview table, like that, reference of scholarly authors also provide you
with the authentic stamp to your assignment.
2. It helps to avoid plagiarism. By using referencing
and citation, you can avoid plagiarism as no one can claim that you have stolen
their thoughts or writings.
3. It will help
you to demonstrate your knowledge and argument towards the topic.
Note: Use
accurate referencing in right place otherwise your paper will be a big question
mark. If you are writing a management assignment and cited a medical
referencing, then your paper is false. It will lose persuasiveness of your
assignment.
