MJ's little flock

I can't stand online teaching. It's so detached. Might as well be talking to the wall.

Again, on the other side, it makes tuts really frustrating as people take all semester to relax & open up so discussions are quite stilted. Tutorials should be the best part where there's a lively exchange of ideas. I don't mind lectures on~line. A lecture is a lecture ~ but the tuts...

EndNote is a software that you can add on to Word and it does all that reference formatting for you. Your librarians can probably help you get it and start using it, if you want to give it a try.

I am long past my reference writing days, but wow that would have been useful!
I started on footnotes and references as a kid helping my Dad with his books. We used card index cards and my job was to write (hand write of course) and maintain the cards while the book was in progress.

You've reminded me of a tutor I had many years ago. He was teaching us to code in machine language: binary and hex. He had an anecdote of the "DnS guys" who used to work up at Woomera. "DnS guys?" we asked. "Drop and shuffle. All the code was on punch cards."

Probably. The one UNE uses just seems bonkers to me.

When I studied law, we used AGLC (Australian Guide to Legal Citation) and when I was doing the music degree it was either Harvard or Chicago... often the only difference between some of these referencing systems is a full-stop... it's bats*** crazy! And you'll lose marks if you forget the full-stop (or put one in where it's not meant to go...)
