Referencing

Reference lists for the projects should contain approximately 20–25 relevant references from different sources. All references must be from credible sources such as books, industry related journals, magazines, company documents and recent academic articles. Most web-based resources are not sufficiently supported (e.g. peer reviewed) to be useful as a reference, except where they provide industry information.

Penalties

Your grade will be adversely affected if your assignment contains no/poor citations and/or reference list and if your assignment word length is beyond the allowed tolerance level (see Assessment Policy available on AIB website).
