Referencing[edit source]

Hi Tara, the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th edition referencing requires journal titles to be italicised in the reference list which has now been added. APA 7th edition does not require "doi:" in the reference list which has now been removed. The Victoria University library guide has a great range of example references that you can refer to in the future. --CharliU3203035 (discusscontribs) 06:23, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Word Count[edit source]

Hi Tara, your book chapter looks great! I can see you've put a lot of work into this assessment:) Just a friendly reminder about the word count for this assignment (i.e. 4000 words - everything from the top of your page to the bottom), and it seems you may be almost 500 words over. Words beyond this won't be considered and I wouldn't want you to lose any marks. --U3205964 (discusscontribs) 05:01, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
