- Recheck ↝ Make sure the meaning is the same as original topic
👣 STEPS TO REFERENCING 👣
On of the most important ways to avoid plagiarism is referencing
- Include a Reference Page or page of works cited at the end of your paper
- Check the guidelines for citing sources properly and make sure that the page meets the document formatting guidelines by UiTM
- Look for the APA 6th formatting style

- Refer to your instructor or lecturer for the turnitin account to assess your paraphrasing and other anti-plagiarism skills
❓ HOW TO REFERENCING ❓
⟶ In-text citation
Jones (1998) found students often had difficulty using APA style
Research by Wegener and Petty (1994) supports ...
When testing the usability of a website, it is necessary to gather demographic information about the users (Lazar, 2006)
Lazar (2006) notes that a fundamental part of usability testing is understanding the demographic of the users
⟶ Therefore, our Reference List should be like this ...
Jones, T. J. (1998). Friendship quality and social development. Current Directions in Psychological Science, 11, 7-10.
Wegener, D. T., Petty, R. E. (1994). Mood management across affective states: The hedonic contingency hypothesis. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 66, 1034-1048.
Lazar, S. M. (2006). Friends' influence on adolescents' adjustment to school. Child Developmet, 66, 1312-1329.
What is iCGPA ?
- Integrated Cumulative Grade Point Average (iCGPA) is one value reported on every end of semester or period of study
- This value demonstrates the achievement of students in mastering 8 domains of learning outcomes (LO)
- Student achievement for each program learning outcome is shown through a report in the form of Spider Web
