  2. REPEATING STUDENTS If you’ve submitted an essay for this unit in a previous term and your essay topic is still on the list of essay topics this term, your teacher can help you access the previously graded essay with comments for improvement so you’ll know exactly what to change to avoid academic misconduct. Resubmitting a previously graded essay without addressing the required improvements will result in an academic misconduct case related to self-plagiarism.

  3. Feedforward exercise • This activity is a compulsory part of our essay preparation. • We will spend time in class to devise an action plan to incorporate the feedback received for our critical thinking exercise assignment into our essays. • How to access the feedback: • Go to assessments – critical thinking task – click on the Turnitin view/submit button. A copy of the assignment will open. • Read the feedback letter provided by your teacher – write down the 2 main issues you must improve on for the essay, discuss any questions with the teacher regarding how/where to find resources to make the recommended improvements. Your tutor will use the image provided here to guide you so you can find your feedback for your first task. You will also be shown how to read the in-text comments and access the individual marks assigned for each of the marking rubric criteria.

  28. How to reference a secondary source Sometimes you may want to quote or paraphrase a source (A) that is referred to within another source (B). If you read about A in B, the primary source (original source) would be A (“said it first”). Any text that interprets A or comments on A is known as the secondary source so B (the one you actually looked at and in which you read the comments about A), would be the secondary source. You should not cite source A as though you read it from the original work. Since you only learned about source A through B, only B (the secondary source which you actually read) , should be in your reference list. For example, the book you are using is written by Smith but he quotes another author called Jones. If you wish to use Jones’ idea in your essay, you should tell the reader that you read about Jones in a secondary source (Smith) by using the phrase “cited in Smith”. Continued next slide….

  29. How to reference a secondary source cont. In-text you should acknowledge both the primary source (Jones) and secondary source (Smith) as follows: Jones (cited in Smith 2009) agreed that the experiment failed to confirm this hypothesis . OR The experiment failed to confirm this hypothesis (Jones, cited in Smith 2009). In the reference list, you should ONLY provide the details of the source you actually read, in this case Smith. Smith, J 2009, Hypotheses, University of Western Sydney, Penrith.

  35. Use the following WesternSydU Harvard Formatting Guide to help you format your essay.

  36. A Student’s Guide to WesternSydU Harvard Formatting

  37. Title page: WesternSydU Harvard 1 Page no. Title • Leave 5 spaces between the Header and page number • All letters capitalized • Formatted half way down the page A STUDENT’S GUIDE TO WESTERNSYDU HARVARD FORMATTING By John Smith Introduction to Human Behaviour Dr. Jane Smith Western Sydney University, The College Milperra NSW 27 March 2018 Text Header [Student Name] • Times New Roman or Arial font • 12 point font size • NO bold, NO underline, NO italics • A short description of your title • Flushed right [Unit Name] [Teacher Name] [Institution] [City State of Institution] [Date] 4 Lines 3 Lines

  38. Introduction & Body: WesternSydU Harvard 2 Repeat title Page no. A Student’s Guide to WesternSydU Harvard Formatting Start your introductory paragraph from here. The introductory paragraph is where you will introduce your chosen topic and outline your argument. Your aim in the introduction should be to orient your reader to the topic you are writing about, define the key terms, state the position of your thesis statement, and set limits of the essay by outlining the stages of the essay in the order that you will write them. The introductory paragraph should be approximately 10% of the set word limit of your assessment. After the introductory paragraph start the body section of your essay from here. In the body, each point of your overall argument is in its own paragraph. These are known as sub-topics that make up your overall argument. Each paragraph should then include a ‘topic sentence’ that introduces the main point of the paragraph, an ‘explanation’ with ‘examples’ that support the point you want to convince the reader of, ‘evidence’ with references that supports the main point of the paragraph, and finally a concluding sent • Leave 5 spaces between the Header and page number Text Header • Times New Roman or Arial font • 1.5 or Double Line spacing • 12 point font size • A short description of your title • Flushed right 1 Inch margins Hanging indent 1Inch 1 Inch

  39. Body cont.: WesternSydU Harvard 3 1 Inch margins 1 Inch Page no. 1 Inch that summarises the point of the paragraph. We can think of parts of each paragraph like parts of a classic burger. Just like a classic burger needs a top bun, a paragraph needs a topic sentence. The meat patty in the burger is our main point and/or argument of our paragraph. If we have a burger without the meat patty, then it is not considered a classic burger. Likewise, a paragraph without a main point is not a convincing paragraph. A burger also has added ingredients to make it tastier; these can be cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion and condiments. To make our paragraph convincing we also need to include the necessary ingredients; these are evidence with references, explanations, examples, and any terms we need to define. Lastly, we cannot complete our classic burger without a bottom bun, similarly a concluding sentence of a paragraph helps summarise and complete our paragraph. So remember, just like a juicy burger, a good paragraph needs important items to hold it together; a topic sentence (i.e. top bun), a main point (i.e. meat patty), evidence, examples and explanations to support the main • Leave 5 spaces between the Header and page number Text Header • Times New Roman or Arial font • 1.5 or Double Line spacing • 12 point font size • A short description of your title • Flushed right Hanging indent

  40. Conclusion: WesternSydU Harvard 4 1 Inch margins 1 Inch Page no. 1 Inch point (i.e. lettuce, cheese, etc), and a concluding sentence (i.e. bottom bun). Another tip for the body section and to help you build a strong paragraph is try to avoid one sentence paragraphs. In academic writing a paragraph consists of approximately six sentences. Further, the body section is approximately 80% of the set word limit of your assessment. You can also use the Study Smart Zone to help you write a great essay. In conclusion, when you are ready to conclude your essay, start the concluding paragraph with terms such as ‘in conclusion’ or ‘in summary’. This helps inform the reader that you as the writer are now concluding your essay. The conclusion should include a summary of all the main points you made in the body section of your essay. You do not need to include any new ideas or references in the conclusion. All ideas should be mentioned in the body section, and the conclusion is only to summarise the content of your essay. The content in the conclusion is similar to the introduction but with a different purpose. In the conclusion you are making • Leave 5 spaces between the Header and page number Header Text • Times New Roman or Arial font • 1.5 or Double Line spacing • 12 point font size • A short description of your title • Flushed right Hanging indent

Toward the end of the conclusion use words that help signal the closure of your essay.
